Attention IME, ME, and General Engineering Undergrads:

Sign Up THIS WEEK for your Spring Advising Session

 

IME, ME, and Gen Eng undergrads: Please drop by Dearborn 102 this week to schedule a 15-minute advising session during Spring Advising, which begins next Monday, February 5th, and runs through Friday, March 2nd. Sign-up sheets for advising sessions are at the Dearborn 102 front desk, and advisor assignments are posted on the big bulletin boards outside of Dearborn 102.  (Please check that list before you sign up for your appointment, so you’ll know who your advisor is. Note that all General, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineering students have now been assigned advisors, and Mechanical Engineering students may have a different advisor from last term.) The sooner you sign up, the better—prime times go fast! You must be advised in order to get your PIN number for Spring term. 

 

 

Attention Mechanical Engineering Pro-School Students:

Additional Spring & Summer MECOP Internships Available

 

Gary Petersen, Director of the MECOP program, anticipates a number of additional MECOP internships for this Spring & Summer for ME students.  If you are interested, contact Gary ASAP at  Gary.P.Petersen@oregonstate.edu.  You must fill out an application by Feb. 1 to be considered.  The application will be available shortly on the MECOP website.  Note that students on academic warning or probation will not be considered.
