Advising

Students who are pre-major ENGR (which includes all first-year engineering students) will use the Engineering Advising Center for their advising needs.

Any pre-major ENGR student interested in Architectural Engineering can meet with the AE faculty advisor at the Engineering Advising Center (click here for times the AE advisor is available). It is recommended that students meet with an advisor at least once a semester.

Upon admission into the AE program, students will be assigned a faculty advisor. Find your faculty advisor. Direct questions to 814-863-2078, email the Student Records Secretary, or stop by 104 Engineering Unit A.
