All EGR students are advised at Engineering General Resources. Sophomores, juniors and seniors with an ISyE classification are assigned a faculty advisor. Advisors are generally available on a walk-in basis during their office hours and by appointment at other times. Students usually keep the same advisor throughout their academic career, unless they choose to change or the instructor is not available. To discuss changing your advisor, contact Pamela Peterson. You may pick up an ISyE student guidebook, which outlines the curriculum and provides information about organizations and faculty members, in the department office.

Advising is an ongoing activity that helps the students and faculty develop mentoring relationships and communication. Each semester, we schedule a specific Undergrad Advising Week and ask students to meet with their faculty advisor to discuss classes for next semester and any other concerns they may have. Advising is mandatory, not optional. For continuing undergraduates, this is an excellent opportunity to have a skilled and knowledgeable professor help them achieve academic success by aiding with course selection. This is the kind of advice that streamlines a student's progress through the program and helps them to increase their GPA. For graduating seniors, the last advising meeting is an opportunity to tell us what they think about their academic experience here via an exit interview questionnaire or discussion with an advisor. Undergrad Advising Week usually happens one or two weeks before registration begins. Students receive an email indicating who their advisor is, that person's contact information, and instructions on how to sign up for an advising meeting. Please contact Pamela Peterson with questions or concerns pertaining to the advising process.
