Advising
Advising in the ME department is the responsibility of the faculty
advisor assigned to the student. The advisor is responsible
for monitoring the progress of each ME student from the first
year into the ME program until graduation. The faculty advisor
provides advice about course selection and the opportunity to
discuss career plans, to understand what and why mechanical
engineers do what they do, and to provide a supportive personal
relationship. Table 1 lists advisors for the 2006/2007 academic
year. If questions arise that cannot be answered by the advisor,
the student should check with the main ME department office.
Students must meet with their advisors by appointment at least
once per semester for pre-registration advising. To assure that
this occurs, advisors are sent the personal identification numbers
(PIN) of their advisees. A student will not be able to register
unless he/she meets with the advisor and obtains a PIN.
In some cases, your advisor may not be able to
answer specific academic questions or approve academic actions
that are not described in the catalogue (course equivalence, exceeding
permitted load, request for make up final etc…). In these
cases, the student has to petition the Academic Committee of the
Faculty using the form available at the Record’s Office
of the Faculty. The form is also enclosed at the end of this guide.
After filling out the form, the student must secure the signature
and the comments of his/her advisor. The answer to the petition
will at most take about 10 working days.
