Peer Advisors in ECE Department

Peer advisors in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) assist with academic planning, offer time management & study strategies, share advice on clubs & activities, and more...

Students from outside ECE who are considering switching to the CompE or EE major, or adding a double major, are also welcome to meet with a peer advisor. 

Schedule an Appointment through Navigate (best option). The Navigate page offers appointments with Emily Krems, Academic Advisor, all of which occur during peer advising hours.  ECE Peer Advising Calendar
