The beginning of a successful academic career for both freshmen and transfer students is rooted a longstanding tradition of providing adequate academic advising as well as financial support to both categories of students. The School of Engineering and Technology recruits these two categories of students.

In the School of Engineering and Technology advising forms an integral part of the services faculty provide to students. We believe that when students know their curricula, their advisors, and the various other requirements for graduation, they are better informed to take classes that will contribute meaningfully to their future career expectations. There are several other university requirements that are pertinent to success that students may not be aware of and can best be provided by the advisor.

To assist students, the School of Engineering and Technology’s website provides curricula sheets mapping the sequence of courses students must take to achieve their major and degree requirements. Additionally, our current and future course offerings are accessible through our website. Students can monitor their progresses by running a degree evaluation via the university’s CentralPipeline’s program.

The Dean’s office doors are open to prospective and continuing students for consultation and advising.

In fulfilling this critical role, all students are assigned to an academic advisor in their various disciplines right from enrollment at the university. Students are encouraged to meet with advisors regularly to seek guidance academically as well as career wise.  Advisors have experiences in their areas of disciplines that may help in nurturing the students over the years of their education. Several advisors also direct clubs which offer educational experience beyond the classroom, and students are strongly encouraged to be part of these clubs.

The School also boasts of several scholarships that are awarded to incoming as well as continuing students. The Dean’s scholarship provides up to $2000 in unrestricted funds to 20 incoming freshmen. The Foundation scholarship is awarded to primarily continuing students. These awards vary in monetary value from between $200 to $5,000. These scholarships are donated by industries, faculty emeriti, friends, and alumni.  The future remains bright for external support for our students.

These monies have gone a long way to help students reduce the amount of time they have to invest in working to earn income to support their education. When a student does not have to worry about funding for education, the stress that is associated with such will be ameliorated and the devotion to work and attention to details cannot be underestimated.

The School also seeks to find funding through grant writing to enable us recruit underrepresented students in engineering and technology. The school is located in Nicholas Copernicus building.
