ECE uses a faculty technical advising referral system. Students with technical questions about specific courses or career paths are referred by their advisor to the appropriate faculty members in the area of interest. Some popular technical specialties.
ECE advisors collaborate with the Office of Career Services to provide guidance related to:
- choice of major and career path
- Co-op and internship programs
- permanent job search
- graduate or professional study
ECE students participating in the University Honors Program should contact their advisor early in their academic programs.
