Undergraduate Advising

There are two levels of undergraduate advising for Penn State engineering students. The Engineering Advising Center (EAC) primarily serves as the academic advising resource for students in pre-major status (ENGR) at University Park. 

Upon entering the Engineering Science major, each student is asked to attend an evening orientation session during the first week of classes in the fall semester. Undergraduates who have been admitted into the Engineering Science major will be assigned an academic adviser from the full-time faculty in the department. Students in pre-major status who are interested in beginning their department affiliation early can request an assigned department adviser priot to completing the Entrance to Major (ETM) process.

Students entering the Engineering Science major, who have been advised through the EAC or at a Penn State commonwealth campus for their first two years, are assigned a department adviser by the Undergraduate Officer during the summer after the ETM process is complete.

Every semester before registration begins, all aerospace engineering students are encouraged to meet with their adviser. Advisers are generally available on a walk-in basis during posted office hours. Students may also ask questions and schedule appointments by telephone or email. If you're having difficulty finding a time when you and your adviser are both available, please contact the department's undergraduate programs assistant.
