• Dr. Perwez Kalim, Professor of Mech. Engineering
• High School to College, what it means?
• My role
• Role Model, Mentor
• A Facilitator, Helper, Confidant, a Friend
• Advisor/advisee relationship is very important
• Resources Available?
• During Advising Session
• CHECK Math requirements
• Must retake Math placement if not placed out/Math
  100 May jeopardize your four year graduation plan
• University Calendar
• Pick a time slot for advising session for today

2

• Is engineering major good for you?
• Math requirements are very important and
  stringent
• Are you declared or undeclared. Try to declare as
  soon as possible
• What are your strengths and weaknesses in order
  to achieve this education
• Is it party time?
• If you like to change your major now, Say so. You
  will get a different schedule of courses, go to
  R-211 Conyngham Hall
• You can change classes on a drop/add form during
  advising

3

• If you are not placed out or you have not taken
  the Math Placement test at all, you must retake
  the test which is scheduled for Monday 130-230
  and 230 330 in SLC 409. you must sign up
  today on the sign up sheet posted on door of SLC
  409. you must have your login username and
  password.
• Same applies to Chem test. If you have not taken
  then go to Henry student center computer lab and
  take the test there during an open time in your
  schedule during orientation.
• If you are not placed out of these tests you will
  be scheduled to take remedial Mathematics 100 and
  Chem 095. Note that you will not be awarded any
  credits towards your graduation for these
  courses. Therefore, they are simply waste of time
  and jeopardize your graduation plans.
• For Chem there is no choice other than taking a
  remedial course during summer somewhere else. The
  remedial Math course however, is offered during
  Session II this summer beginning on July 14.
