Academic Advisors

All ECE students are advised by both faculty and staff academic advisors who can provide support and guide them through their Carnegie Mellon experience.

First-year students are advised through the College of Engineering as part of the First-Year Experience, which starts the summer before students arrive on campus. Once students formally declare their major in Electrical and Computer Engineering they are assigned to faculty and staff academic advisors. These advisors can assist students with course selection, preparing for internships and on-campus research, as well as providing information on degree requirements and checking the progress of the degree. Advisors can be reached by the information provided below.
