The ECE Department offers advising to students on a continuous basis. Advising is done in a multi-faceted approach by the Chief Departmental Advisor (CDA), 学术协调员, 还有一位指导老师.

Students should have a degree plan built in DegreeWorks (see instructions on How to Create a Plan in DegreeWorks in the 建议参考资料 section below) prior to seeing 学术协调员 的建议 and be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns about that degree plan during their meeting.

每学期一次, the Department holds a group advising sessions conducted by the CDA and Academic Coordinator. 另外, students can meet with 学术协调员 to select courses for the upcoming semester (see instructions on 如何创建咨询预约in the 建议参考资料 section below). 在小组咨询会议上, the overall requirements of the curriculum are briefly summarized, 但随着人们更多地关注最近的变化, and to upcoming courses and events for the following two semesters.
