Advising

Advising for Engineering Sciences is available in three different areas: Faculty, College, and Program.

Faculty advisors

Each student in Engineering Science (ES) is assigned a faculty advisor in ES. Faculty advisors (and, indeed, all faculty members) hold office hours when they are available for meeting with students. They also can be contacted (by e-mail or phone) to schedule an appointment. You are expected to meet with your faculty advisor at least once each semester, prior to enrolling in classes for the following term, when you will review your Degree Worksheet and also discuss your plans for the upcoming term. Ask your faculty advisor about coursework in the major field, careers in ES, graduate school, letters of recommendation, and summer internships.

College of Engineering advising

You are also assigned an Engineering Student Services advisor in the College of Engineering. ESS advisors monitor your progress towards your degree and explain graduation requirements, interpret CoE policy, and explain the petition process.

Program contact

The undergraduate advisor for ES answers registration questions, interprets departmental policy, and makes referrals to resources on campus. To make an appointment, please email engineeringscience@berkeley.edu.
