Academic and career advising are integrated for engineering students because there is a strong relationship between the student's educational and career goals.  Based on each student's individual circumstances, personal development and skills, advisors provide advice on:
        • Degree planning, academic requirements, policies and procedures
        • Career exploration, information and preparation
        • Exploration of necessary skills, and
        • Referral to campus resources.

Make the most of your time with your advisor by preparing for each meeting with your advisor.
        1. Prepare a list of courses that you are planning to register for.  
        2. Check that you have met all the prerequisites. 
        3. Jot down a list of questions you may have regarding: elective course content, transfer course credit, core course requirements, scholarships and or internships.

Also, be sure to ask about the different jobs and employment opportunities available as a Mechanical Engineer.  Every ME faculty member has worked in industry or government or both. Your advisor can inform you about what it is like being a practicing engineer and what you need to be successful in your career.
