Advising

ECE majors are required to meet with their advisor each semester to  discuss their academic plans for the upcoming semester and to obtain a registration hold release.  Students are encouraged to meet as often as needed to discuss curriculum choices, professional interests, and any other topics that will be of assistance as they pursue their electrical and computer engineering education.  Students who have questions about any part of the ECE program should see their advisor.

NOTE:  Completion of the ECE program as outlined satisfies the requirements for a Computer Science minor.  Please see your advisor on arranging your program to obtain, in addition, an Applied Mathematics minor.

ADVISEMENT AND REGISTRATION

1.   ALL ECE MAJORS MUST SEE THEIR ADVISORS BEFORE THEY CAN REGISTER. (Exception: Seniors who are graduating at the end of the semester.)

2.   Do not expect to see your advisor without an appointment. Sign up ahead of time, preferably a day in advance so that your advisor has time to retrieve your file from the ECE office.

3.   Check your registration queue time, and sign up for advisement in plenty of time to allow you to register as scheduled. 

4.   Check your advisor's calendar early (posted near or on their office door), to make sure there are not blocks of times when he/she is going to be unavailable.  If your advisor will be unavailable during the time just preceding your queue time, sign up early.

5.   Bring your signed advisement Hold Release form to the CSE DeanÕs Office, 140 Engr. Bldg.  Do not bring to the ECE Department Office.

6.   Remember, lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency for your advisor or the department.  Please do your part to make advisement a worthwhile experience for you.

7.   Students are also encouraged to visit with their advisor to discuss career planning and the practice of engineering.  It is important to observe that your academic advisor is often a good choice as a reference for job applications.

GRADES

A 'D' is the minimum grade required in an ECE course. Although it is not required, students receiving a D in an ECE course are encouraged to retake the course.

REPEATING A COURSE - The student should pick up a 'Course Repeat' card at the Solon Campus Center Information Desk.  Complete the card and bring to the instructor for approval.  Return to the Information Desk.
