! engineering.arizona.edu/undergrad-services/advising ! CALCULUS STUDY GROUPS Success in calculus usually translates into success in engineering. Taking advantage of college resources helps students to establish a firm foundation to support their academic success throughout their undergraduate career. Each semester, the College of Engineering and the Think Tank collaborate to offer facilitated study groups for calculus. Guided by a Think Tank certified tutor, our students (usually 6-10 per group) tackle homework, classwork, and individual help with math questions. Study groups are offered for Math 122A/B, MATH 125, Math 129, and Math 223 (Math 254 will depend on tutor availability). Former study group attendees have shown increased success in their math courses and often return the following semester to join the study group for the next math course in the sequence. Meeting times of the study groups and will be posted online. Start your first year off right and join a study group! Study a thons for Calculus finals are also given. These usually take place the Saturday before the final. See ENGR website for times and dates. OFFICE HOURS HOSTED BY HONOR SOCIETIES The UA chapter of the National Engineering Honor Society, Tau Beta Pi, is dedicated to helping engineering students.

# #
# # # # # # #
#
#
Plan to study a lot more than you did in high school—2 to 3 hours each week for every credit hour. Don’t procrastinate—you will need to manage your time well. Use the calendar in this planner so that you know when assignments are due and tests are coming up. Go through each syllabus at the beginning of the semester and record all due dates, projects, and exams. Go to office hours! Your faculty and TAs want to see you. Take good notes and review them frequently. Use tutoring resources on campus. Get to know experienced peers, faculty, and advisors and ask for help. Manage stress—you can reduce stress by being prepared and organized. Eat, sleep, and exercise. Make friends! If you start to struggle, ask for help as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the end of the semester to ask for help. Talk to your instructors if you’re struggling, sick, or have family emergencies. Share this information with your academic advisor. The earlier you talk to them, the easier it will be to get caught up and stay on track. Join major-related student organizations. It’s a great way to meet people and/or apply what you’re learning in the classroom.

STUDENT SUPPORT COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE – EXPECTED PROTOCOLS You will need to communicate with UA Faculty and Staff often during your time here as an undergraduate. When doing so, whether in person, via phone, or via email, please follow the instructions below. EMAIL UA Email is the University’s official method of communication, check it on a daily basis. You should always send emails from your UA Email address. The more information you include, the better we can assist you. Not using your UA email or providing the first three items listed below will cause a delay in your reply.
When you do send an email, remember the following: #
# # #
#
#
# #
# #
Include your name, Student Identification Number (SID) and major/intended major. Emails to faculty and TAs should also include the course/section. Use the subject line to indicate the nature of the email. Be specific with your requests. Maintain the email chain with previous correspondence if relevant—this helps us review your conversations and to remind us of your situation. Allow at least 48 hours (or more depending on the person and time of year) for a response. DO NOT re-send the same email after one day—allow time for a response. READ the emails you receive thoroughly. Make sure you have read the email completely before responding with a question. Start email with a salutation (Hello Dr. Baygents, etc...). Don’t email like a text message (minimize abbreviations, acronyms, colloquialisms, fragmented sentences, etc.) Use proper grammar and punctuation as well as spell check. Don’t use all CAPS.
VIA PHONE OR IN PERSON #
#
#
Have your Student Identification Number (SID) ready. It is how we can look up your student account and verify that we are speaking with you. Be specific with what you are hoping to find out. Sometimes your request needs to be passed along to a specific person (such as an advisor) who is equipped to help you. When leaving a phone message, please include your phone number.
GENERAL TIPS # #
#
Be polite. Be respectful of faculty and staff time constraints and comply with deadlines accordingly. Don’t try and beat the system. The system is in place for a reason.
11
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Students are responsible for understanding and following the UA Code of Academic Integrity. Students engaging in academic dishonesty diminish their education and bring discredit to the academic community and the campus. Students should avoid situations likely to compromise academic integrity. The online Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition: Plagiarize: to steal or pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own; to use (another’s production) without crediting the source.
According to Plagiarism.org, the following is also considered to be plagiarism: # # # # #
#
#
Turning in someone else's work as your own. Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit. Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks. Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation. Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit. Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not. Self-plagiarism is the use of one’s own previous work in another context without citing that it was used previously.
The UA uses Turnitin.com to analyze papers for plagiarism. This program allows instructors to compare papers submitted to them against previously submitted papers. WriteCheck.Turnitin.com is a resource for students who wish to check their own work and writing before submitting to their instructors. The Dean of Students website also has a page with helpful information to help you avoid any instances of academic dishonesty.

ACADEMIC ADVISING PROCEDURES ADVISING STRUCTURE Advising Center Advisors # General Education Requirements # No Major Selected Students Departmental Major Advisors # Major and Degree Requirements Advisors from department offering minor # Minor Requirements WHAT IS AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR? Advisors are skilled at responding to questions and concerns regarding course selection, academic policies, registering for classes, degree requirements, and choosing, changing, or adding majors and minors. They can also direct you to information about admission requirements for majors, using campus resources, finding career-related experiences, and graduate/professional school applications. HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR? Check the list of Academic Advisors found on the College of Engineering website. Advisors are listed by department along with their contact information. The college provides professional Staff Advisors and/or Faculty Advisors in each department. Either way, you’ll receive the advice you need to succeed here at the UA College of Engineering.
! engineering.arizona.edu/undergrad-services/advising ! WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MEET WITH YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR REGULARLY? #
#
Students should meet with their advisor as often as needed, but at least once per semester. Meeting regularly with an advisor assures that students understand their academic requirements and policies and gives them an opportunity to discuss academic progress or any concerns that might arise. The better they know you, the better they can help you.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY ACADEMIC ADVISOR? Every department handles advising differently. Departmental advisors may schedule appointments through a main office, offer scheduled walk-in advising hours only, or use an online scheduling program (https://trellis.arizona.edu/solutions/trellis-advise). You can contact the department or advisor for their advising procedures by using the Engineering Advisors directory. WHAT IF I HAVE NOT CHOSEN A MAJOR? I AM NO MAJOR SELECTED. You do have an academic advisor! Richard Casillas, Phillip Medlock and Marisa Pope-Malings are located in the Advising Center in Room 104 on the first floor of the Historic Engineering building. Mr. Casillas, Mr. Medlock and Ms. Pope-Malings are the advisors for all No Major Selected students. Mr. Casillas advises students whose last names begin with A–J, Mr. Medlock advises students whose last names begin with K–S and Ms. Pope-Malings T-Z. Dropin advising days are always on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2:00pm. – 4:00 pm. To make an appointment, https;//ua-trellis.force.com/uastudent. If there is a change in the schedule, it will be posted in the Advising Center and included in email communications.
13
ACADEMIC ADVISING PROCEDURES WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR AN ADVISING APPOINTMENT? #
# #
Write down your questions so you don’t forget them during your appointment. Prepare- Review your Academic Advisement Report (AAR), review the four semester academic plan for your major (included in this planner), and review the course descriptions of the classes you are interested in (found in the UA Catalog). Bring your planner. Take notes to remember what was discussed in your meeting.
REGISTERING FOR CLASSES During orientation, your classes are pre-scheduled based on your Math and English Placement scores (SAT, ACT). On the day of your orientation, you will have access to online registration following your afternoon advising session. You will also be able to change your schedule during open enrollment periods, including the first week of classes. UAccess will open again during your Enrollment Appointment when Priority Registration opens midway through the fall and spring semesters. Watch your UAccess account for your enrollment dates. There is a 16 unit restriction during Priority Registration. Freshmen are not allowed to exceed 19 units at any time during their first year. The No Major Selected Advisors cannot enroll you into any classes after your orientation day. After orientation, you will be responsible for registering for your own classes. Departmental Advisors can only add students to their department’s classes. For a refresher course or tutorial, https://www.registrar.arizona.edu/courses/how-registercourses?audience=students&cat1=10&cat2=30.
Below are symbols/messages you will see while registering: GREEN DOT – OPEN Class Section is Open for enrollment. Seats are available. HALF YELLOW/HALF GREEN DOT – OPEN WITH REQUIREMENTS Class Section is open for enrollment, but there are requirements associated with the course. Using your Shopping Cart or the Schedule of Classes, you will need to click on the lecture section of the class to find out more—usually under the “Enrollment Requirements”. This may include: Honors course, Math requirements/Placement, Majors only, etc. If you meet the requirement, you should be able to enroll.

YELLOW TRIANGLE – WAIT LIST Wait list is available.
14
ACADEMIC ADVISING PROCEDURES DEPARTMENT CONSENT REQUIRED Contact the department offering the course for additional requirements—not you’re No Major Selected academic advisor. Some departments restrict registration to students within the major or want to ensure you have completed the prerequisite coursework before allowing you to enroll in the course. SHOPPING CART REMINDERS Placing the course in your Shopping Cart is not the same as registering for the class. You must submit your choices. Using the Shopping Cart helps you to plan ahead and avoid course time conflicts and view course descriptions and requirements. When changing your schedule, do not use the drop function as your first choice. If you cannot register in the class you want, you will probably not be able to recapture the class you dropped. Remember—Swap, Don’t Drop as your first option. GENERAL ADVISING

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS WHAT ARE GEN-EDS AND WHY DO I NEED THEM? The University-wide General Education Curriculum helps students attain the fundamental skills and broad base of knowledge that all college-educated adults must have, whatever their specific areas of concentration (i.e., the major and minor). The goal of General Education is to prepare students to respond more fully and effectively to an increasingly complex and ambiguous world. All degree-seeking, undergraduate students must satisfy the requirements of the UA General Education Curriculum by completing a series of basic college courses. ENGINEERING GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS #
# #
#
Tier I: Individuals and Societies (INDV or 150) and Traditions and Cultures (TRAD or 160) Tier II: Arts OR Humanities and Individuals and Societies Diversity Emphasis: Gender, Race, Class, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, or Non-Western Area Studies (one course) Natural Science (170) and Second Language are not required for Engineering.
As an engineering major, you are required to take six of these courses in specifically designated areas. Engineering students must take two Individuals and Societies (150), two Traditions and Cultures (160) and two Tier II courses: a Tier II Individuals and Societies and a choice of a Tier II Arts or Humanities. Here is the breakdown: TIER I INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES/150 (ANY TWO REQUIRED) Prefix 150A
Mind, Self and Language
INDV 101
Prefix 150B
Social Interactions and Relationships
INDV 102
Prefix 150C
Societal and Institutional Systems
INDV 103
TIER I TRADITIONS AND CULTURES/160 (ANY TWO REQUIRED) Prefix 160A
Non-Western Cultures and Civilizations (Also fulfills Diversity requirement)
TRAD 101
Prefix 160B
Western Cultures and Civilizations: Classical to Renaissance
TRAD 102
Prefix 160C
Western Cultures and Civilizations: Renaissance to Present

TIER II (TWO REQUIRED) Individuals and Societies (One Course; Tier II INDV is required) Arts (or) Humanities (Choose one, Tier II ART or HUM)
17
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS HONORS GENERAL EDUCATION OPTION Honors Students have the option of completing their general education courses differently. Honors students have the option of replacing one of the Tier I Individuals and Societies with a Tier II Individuals and Societies as well as replacing one of their Tier I Traditions and Cultures with a Tier II Traditions and Cultures. The new path will look as follows:
One Tier I Individuals and Societies (INDV) One Tier I Traditions and Cultures (TRAD) Two Tier II Individuals and Societies (INDV) One Tier II Arts or Humanities One Tier II Humanities One of these six courses would need to meet the Diversity Emphasis Requirement mentioned previously. For more information and course description links, please visit: https://www.honors.arizona.edu/general-education. HOW DO I FIND GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES? Using the Schedule of Classes or your Shopping Cart, you can search for general education courses by selecting different filters.
1.
All of the Tier I courses will have a specific number following a departmental prefix (i.e. PSY or HIST). The course will also have a letter after it designating which subcategory the course falls under. For Example: ****150A = Tier I Individuals and Societies, Mind, Self and Language sub-category. If you know the departmental prefix, choose it from the drop down menu in the Course Subject area. Enter the number you are searching for ex: 160a (TRAD 101). Click on the yellow Search button.
2.
If you do not know the departmental prefix, simply search by Class Attributes. Choose General Education from the Class Attributes drop down menu. Choose the area you are interested in or specifically need in the second Class Attribute Value drop down menu. Click on the yellow Search button.

CURRICULA PLANS In the following pages, you will find four semester curricula plans for each undergraduate degree program within the College of Engineering. These are intended to assist you as you plan your future coursework and help you stay on track. However, please note that you should meet with the academic advisor in your major at least once a semester in order to review your academic progress and to make sure that you are on track. Technical Elective courses will require approval by your major advisor. The first semester of engineering course work is common for all majors. So, if you’re No Major Selected, don’t worry!

CIVIL ENGINEERING For over 100 years, civil engineers from the University of Arizona have been creating the world in which we live through the design, construction, and management of buildings, roads, dams, bridges, systems for water treatment, and other infrastructures to provide essential services and improve public safety. Our students design cities and infrastructures to be sustainable over time while minimizing their impact on the environment. They ensure that the infrastructure are also robust and resilient to the range of stresses from acute events (hurricanes and earthquakes) and chronic long-term influences such as climate change. Through our diverse undergraduate program that includes six focus areas, our civil engineer program gives you the opportunity to gain practical skills and professional certifications. The structural engineering emphasis focuses on the design and analysis of buildings and bridges while the Geotechnical track is concentrates on the soil and rock upon which a structure is built. The Transportation focus provides knowledge on the design and maintenance of roads and highways and improving traffic flow. Hydraulic engineering deals with the collection, transport, and management of water resources. The Environmental engineering focus addresses water Quality and treatment of wastewater generated by human use in urban settings, rural areas, and the natural environment. The Construction Engineering Management track will prepare you to be effective in the field and to support projects scheduling and cost estimation. Our department is changing how we address infrastructure sustainability and resiliency nationally and internationally. Our faculty are working on new ways to detect and mitigate structural weaknesses through structural health monitoring and non-destructive testing. We led teams to examine the effects of the Haiti and Christchurch earthquakes and create plans to mitigate future disasters. UA civil engineers are also addressing international issues related to water resources and water reuse planning and modeling sediment transport. Software we developed, DynusT, is the most widely applied dynamic traffic simulation model and is used for traffic and evacuation planning and traffic routing after failure events including the I-35 collapse. Our faculty are also using geopolymers to reduce wind erosion of mine tailings and to reuse fine and aggregate concrete materials to minimize the need for cement.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING As the first Systems Engineering program in the country, the University of Arizona has literally defined what it is to be a systems engineer. Our students learn to see the global perspective of engineering by modeling, simulating, analyzing, testing, and managing complex systems that involve people and machines, software and hardware, materials, energy, and policy. This includes designing how hospitals and healthcare are managed, enabling successful integration of numerous components for a missile or a smart phone, creating data processing software for NASA missions, and ensuring quality products hit the marketplace. Systems engineers look at the entire lifecycle of a product or service. They start with innovative new ideas based on customer needs and required functionality and simulate how they will be implemented and controlled through the concept, production, quality assurance, and release phases of a project. They manage large teams to ensure that the customer gets what they expect without unwanted side effects. Our students take courses that emphasize system design methodologies enabling system integration and learn tools for modeling and analysis like probability and statistics, system theory, decision analysis, and simulation.

STUDY ABROAD Why Should I Consider Going Abroad? All engineering students have the opportunity to study abroad, and the College of Engineering encourages you to take advantage of this opportunity. Regardless of your engineering major, you will have opportunities throughout your professional career to collaborate with partners abroad, and even live internationally. Having an international experience during your college experience will help prepare you to take advantage of international work opportunities during your career. Nationally, only about 5% of undergraduates go abroad during their college experience, so going abroad can help you differentiate yourself within the job market and can give you interesting and relevant experience to discuss in interviews. When Should I Try to Go Abroad? Study abroad programs are offered for the summer, fall, spring, and full academic year. Your academic advisor can help you figure out when would be the best time to go abroad. # Summer options are mostly focused on research, and students usually participate between their Sophomore and Junior year, or the Junior and Senior year. # Semester long and Academic Year programs are a great way to learn what it is like to live internationally and are a great opportunity to test the waters for students who plan to live or work internationally during their professional careers. These programs take more planning to ensure that the courses that you take abroad fit with your four-year degree plan, so even if you don’t plan to go abroad until later, be sure to discuss your plans with your academic advisor ASAP. Can I Afford to Study Abroad? # Don’t assume you can’t afford study abroad. Some of the study abroad options available to engineering students are more affordable than getting credit on campus. # Study abroad scholarships for both high need and high merit students are available. # A great deal of your financial aid may be available for use in studying abroad. You can find out what specific aid will work when you meet with a study abroad coordinator
A study abroad coordinator can help you figure out how to pay for study abroad, and help you apply for scholarships and other financial aid. Reach out to us and set up an appointment!
