Advising
Upon admission to the M.S. or Ph.D. program, students are assigned a faculty advisor in their specialty area. Students should meet with their advisor upon admission to the program, and as often as needed to assure adequate and accepted progress towards the degree. Study plan forms should be filled out with the advisor at the beginning of the program, kept on file in the CEE office, and modified as needed. Coursework taken without advisor approval may not be accepted as part of a student's program.
