Advising is a key element in succeeding in the Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Program.

At first glance the Mechanical Engineering Curriculum for FAMU and FSU students looks quite complicated -- and it is. Your academic advisor will help you select the proper courses in the proper order.

In addition, your advisor can:

  • inform you of course availability.
  • provide limited career guidance.
  • direct you to campus resources.
  • periodically assess your graduation readiness.

It is your responsibility to see your advisor EVERY semester:

  • 1 month before the end of the semester is a good time. (Finals' week is a bad time; during the summer or holidays is even worse, and can take up to 3-4 weeks!)
  • NO COURSE ADVISING will occur without an advising form or a completed web/email advising request.
  • DO -
    • call/email your advisor to make an appointment BEFORE you come over to the College of Engineering (CoE). Professors are not always in their CoE office.
    • be prepared to discuss your progress in your current classes.
    • be prepared to discuss your performance in the previous semester's classes.
    • be sure to bring an advising form with you (or you will have to go back to the ME office to get one).
    • tell your advisor your plans for the next 6-12 months (classes, internships, activities, etc.).
  • DO NOT -
    • try to skip seeing your advisor.
    • try to "slip something past" another professor (to avoid your advisor).
    • drop a course without consulting your advisor.

You can find your advisor using the Listing of Departmental Advisors.
