Students are required to meet with their academic advisor a minimum of twice per year - once in the fall semester to discuss the coming spring semester, and once in the spring semester to discuss the coming summer and fall semesters. These students "meet" with their academic counselor via email or phone. Should student questions or concerns arise outside of their two required advising appointments, academic counselors are also available to their students year-round on a walk-in basis and via email and phone.

At each advising appointment, advisors ask about the current semester and depending on how the student is faring, refer to various support services if needed. They also discuss the courses the student should add for the coming semester, including which ones are critical to their degree progression. They answer questions, address concerns, and clarify academic policies and procedures for their students. Advisors use a variety of tools to inform their conversation with the student, including but not limited to the Excel flight plan. After the appointment, advisors release the advising hold on the student's account. This hold prevents the ability to register, so it is only removed after a student has completed their required advising appointment.

Career guidance is provided to all engineering students through the Cooperative Education and Career Development office. The Engineering Career Development office coordinates three separate sessions of employer panels, offering students two-time slots to attend each panel. The panelists represent multiple disciplines to provide real-world information about what each discipline looks like in the industry. Career Development staff are available to meet with students regarding the selection of their engineering major and available opportunities. A Career Development staff member attends one senior and/or master-level course for each discipline during each semester to encourage students to utilize the Career Development Center to assist in their full-time job search.

Additional career guidance is provided through a Professional Development Series that is offered to all students each semester regarding engineering career projections, information about graduate and professional programs, military opportunities, salary negotiation, benefits, purchasing a home, and basic finances. Career Development staff members work with all students to provide career counseling and discipline-specific labor market information, as well as salary data that is specific to our region. Additional services include resume review, practice interviews, social media advice, and critique, as well as employment, and offer negotiation coaching. Academic Advising is done through customized System as the following:
