CE Academic Advising

Advising policy

Computer engineering students see their advisors regularly to discuss academic and career plans and progress. In most terms, CE students must receive their advisors’ clearance before registering; the online registration system enforces this. Beat the registration rush by contacting your advisor early in the semester. You are welcomed and encouraged to meet with your advisor even in terms when it is not required to discuss your internship search, career goals, etc.

Advising appointments start in week 8. You will be notified of your advisor’s appointment sign-up procedures in week 7.

Semester transition

MSOE transitioned to semesters in F’23.

Curriculum Versions

If you you attended MSOE as an undergraduate through the semester transition, your individual transition plan replaces your official program curriculum.

What to have available during the meeting with your advisor

Advisors

The CE advisors are Profs. Durant, Livingston, Meier, Rothe, and Varnell. All their offices are located on the 3rd floor of the Library.

Closed Sections

After your registration time, you may request entry into a closed section; every effort will be made to arrange a schedule with your on-track courses. Each department has its own policies for handling closed section requests.

Forms

Forms for declaring a minor, changing/adding a major, etc., are available on the Registrar’s website.

Two-degree Tracks

Two-degree tracks exist for CE in combination with CS, EE and SE. These tracks are laid out for 5 years, but students have accelerated the course sequence and finished one or two terms early. Please see your advisor or program director for more information.

Internship and Job Search Resources

Research and Graduate School Preparation

This MSOE webpage outlines research opportunities for MSOE students including our undergraduate research program in which you work with a faculty member on a project over the course of a year and REUs, which are (usually) summer research experiences sponsored by the National Science Foundation that you can pursue at a variety of universities throughout the US. This website lists several REU and other opportunities. You can also search for REU opportunities at the NSF’s website.
