Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering
Advising
Advising provides an opportunity for students to get the information they need to make sound choices to achieve their professional goals. Advising also provides the information faculty need to assess the success of the program.
Students are required:
- to schedule an appointment and meet with their advisor each semester
- to prepare for the meeting with their advisor, students should fill out and submit the online Advisor Interview Form at least one day ahead of time
- print out, fill out, and bring to the meeting the Outcomes Student Self Evaluation Form
- Meet with your advisor early in the semester to avoid the rush at registration time. You should contact your advisor by email, phone, note, etc. several days in advance to schedule an appointment.
- Advisors
- Freshmen and other students still in University College (UC)
should schedule an appointment with their UC Advisor in Roosevelt
Hall. Students who have officially transferred into the College of
Engineering should contact their assigned faculty advisor to schedule
an appointment using one of three contact methods: e-mail, phone
(voice-mail) or a note in your advisor's faculty mailbox in Kelley
Annex room A110; leave your name, student ID, email/phone number, and
time slots over several days that you are available to meet. If you do
not hear from your advisor within 3 working days of your request, try
again using a different contact method. If a week passes by without
hearing from your advisor, send an email to the department chair
(boud@ele.uri.edu).
- Capstone (ELE480) prerequisites
- Permission numbers are issued by course instructors.
They allow you to register for a particular course
when you are blocked by the on-line registration system. Use the on-line
permission number request
form to request a permission number for a course offered by the department.
- Program Objectives and Outcomes
- Curricula
- Checksheets
The Dean of Engineering keeps a checksheet that lists your graduation requirements. When
you pass a course, it is checked off on your checksheet. The Dean will not approve you for
graduation until your checksheet shows all requirements satisfied. Although program requirements
change, your degree requirements do not change. Your checksheet is the same one you were assigned
to when you entered the program, unless of course, you have petitioned to change your degree
requirements to satisfy a newer curriculum.
-
Petitions Students can petition the College of
Engineering Scholastic Standing Committee to change their degree
requirements. A common petition is for the substitution of a
different course for a required course. While not always predictable,
the response from the college is usually positive as long as the
changes still satisfy ABET accreditation requirements. A petition to
reduce the total number of math and science credits would violate ABET
requirements and would have difficulty passing the board. If you
think your educational objectives are better served by changing
requirements, talk it over with your advisor and submit a petition to
Dean Veyera using the
petition form.
- Degree requirements Your requirements can be found on the checksheet for your class and in the University Course Catalog for the year you entered URI.
- College of Engineering Gen Ed requirements The list of general education courses can be found in the course catalog of the year you joined URI (www.uri.edu/catalog/); for example: If you joined URI in Spring 2003 you follow the 2002-2003 course catalog.
- URI General Education requirements. including approved courses.
