Faculty Advisors 2023-2024
The best resource for advice on career plans, choice of major, choice of elective courses and for the writing of letters of recommendation for prospective jobs or graduate school admission are faculty advisors. Any ECE faculty member may serve as your advisor; however we recommend selecting a faculty member whose research/specialty area align with your interests to get the most out of the meeting.
The ECE department requires juniors and seniors in the electrical and computer engineering majors to complete faculty advising after meetings with their major advisor. This meeting allows students to discuss their career goals, possible internships, needed skills, and academic tracks. The advising process is outlined below:
The steps are as follows:
- Student meets with ECE advisor and provides updated academic plan which includes chosen electives
- ECE advisor approves plan
- Student forwards completed degree checklist for major (EE or CE)
- Student indicates faculty member they have chosen to meet with
- ECE advisor combines approved academic plan with completed degree checklist into one file and forwards to selected faculty member as DocuSign
- Faculty member signs off after meeting with student either virtually via Zoom or in person during selected office hours
- ECE advisor releases hold after receiving signed document
