The New Student Academic Advising Center for the School of Engineering and Technology was formed in 2007. The center is the advising unit for all students new to the School of Engineering and Technology, including beginners, transfers, second degree, and returning students. The center provides services that include orientation programs, transfer credit analysis, and academic advising through the first year of student's enrollment. In addition to providing academic advising, the center coordinates the curriculum and teaching for the freshman engineering courses as well as the learning community courses required for all beginning students.
All qualified students interested in pursuing an engineering degree at IUPUI are admitted to the Freshman Engineering Program. This includes second-degree and transfer students as well as beginning students. While in this program, beginning students complete the basic sequence of courses common to all engineering majors. These courses include calculus I and II, chemistry and physics for science and engineering majors, English composition, and public speaking. Freshman engineering courses include: ENGR 19500 Introduction to the Engineering Profession, ENGR 19600 Introduction to Engineering, ENGR 19700 Introduction to Programming Concepts, and ENGR 29700 Computer Tools for Engineering. The Freshman Engineering Program provides students with an opportunity to explore the various engineering disciplines before making a commitment to a specific curriculum.
