UNDERGRADUATE COMPREHENSIVE ADVISING SYSTEM (U-CAS)

U-CAS is an advising program designed to encourage student-faculty relations and develop stronger connections within the ECE Department. Initial advisors are assigned to students upon acceptance into ECE.

WHY DO YOU NEED AN ADVISOR?

During your undergraduate career, faculty advisors can be a valuable resource. Your initial advisor can provide insight about additional avenues of interest (research, industry, academia) and advice about course work, depth sequences, and other academic issues. Also, your advisors can share their own experiences about electrical engineering and provide a new perspective of industry. These faculty members can help you get accustomed to our university setting and with any problems you might encounter in the first few years. In addition, this program provides a unique way for the faculty get to know you as a student, and your relationship may lead to limitless possibilities, including recommendations for graduate school, job opportunities, and research experiences.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING:
There will be two types of advisors for Electrical Engineering students. Students will be assigned an initial advisor. This person will remain their advisor until students choose a depth sequence, at which time they will switch to an advisor in that field (resource advisor). This change will take place in the winter quarter to the student's junior year. The student's official advisor is responsible for all official interactions with the department(e.g. petitions, etc.).

Nevertheless, students are encouraged to actively engage other faculty in discussion of career opportunities and all other facets of their academic career. In particular, prior to their choice of depth sequence, students are strongly encouraged to speak with a faculty in their area of interest in order to better understand the career implications of choosing a particular depth.
