Peer Advisors in ECE Department
About
Peer advisors in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) are juniors and seniors who can answer questions about the CompE and EE majors, assist with academic planning, offer time management and study strategies, share advice for becoming involved with clubs and 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.
