Assistance on academic, career and personal matters is available
through the advising resources of the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering or through referral to other offices on campus.
Department resources include faculty advisors and a Student Affairs
Officer. While you may approach any of these advisors to discuss any
issue, the issues that each is best prepared to handle are described
below.
Faculty Advisors
The best resource for advice on career plans,
choice of major, choice of elective courses, and for the writing of
letters of recommendation for prospective jobs or graduate school
admission are faculty advisors. The ECE Student Affairs Officer will
assign you a faculty advisor your first term on campus. ECE students
often retain the same faculty advisor throughout their undergraduate
program, but you may choose a new advisor whenever you wish, by
request. Any ECE faculty member may serve as your advisor.
ECE Student Affairs Officer
Faculty advising is supplemented by a system of
staff advising especially designed for ECE students. The Student
Affairs Officer is the best resource for the detailed advising
involving curriculum requirements, prerequisites, changes of major,
petitions for change of degree requirements, and mandatory advising.
The ECE Student Affairs Officer is
Nancy Davis
Office: 2064 Kemper Hall
Phone: 530-752-0897
ugradinfo@ece.ucdavis.edu
- Scheduled Office Hours: Generally M-F 9:30-11:00
am and 1:15-2:45pm; subject to change due to meetings. Appointments can
be made via the online scheduling form.
- Drop in with questions anytime from 8:00 - 12:00 and 1:00 - 4:30.
Vice Chair for Undergraduate Studies
Professor Stephen Lewis, serving as ECE Vice Chair
for Undergraduate Studies, is responsible for management of the ECE
undergraduate curricula, and he supervises the undergraduate advising
program. Issues that cannot be handled by the Student Affairs Officer
will be referred to him.
Mandatory Advising
The College of Engineering has a mandatory
advising system for all undergraduate engineering students. As an
Electrial Engineering or Computer Engineering major you must meet these
advising requirements once a year, during a specific quarter, which is
determined by the first letter of your last name. You are informed of
your mandatory advising hold through the registration system.
During registration via SISWEB, you will be
informed that you have an advising hold and told the date the hold is
to be released. Please read the entire message on the holds screen so
you can schedule an appointment during the appropriate quarter. Failure to release your hold by the deadline will result in the inability to make any changes to your schedule. You also risk being disenrolled from the University.
The 2009/10 mandatory advising schedule is as follows:
A - G: Fall Quarter Hold
Deadline: First day of Winter Quarter 2010 (January 4)
H - N: Winter Quarter Hold
Deadline: First day of Spring Quarter 2010 (March 25)
O - Z: Spring Quarter Hold
Deadline: First day of Fall Quarter 2010 (September 20)
To remove the hold, complete an academic plan and
schedule an appointment with the Student Affairs Officer on the
calendar posted online. The one-year schedule must be turned in at your
scheduled appointment. After obtaining the Student Affairs Officer's
signature on the course plan, you may also be required to meet with
your Faculty Advisor to review your academic plan. Therefore, plan
accordingly to get this done before the deadline.
