To know your advisor click on students and then Advisor schedule, and then arrange a time to meet them under professor's availability.  If you're a new student disregard this paragraph.

The advising procedure involves several steps and ensures that the students efficiently and effectively meet the University, College, and Department requirements for graduation as they pursue their degrees in engineering.  To enforce prerequisite requirements, each semester advising holds are placed on all engineering students.  These holds can only be removed and registration can only occur after students have met with the advisor who confirms their eligibility to enroll in their desired courses and approves their schedule. The only way that students can register for these courses is by registering through one of the faculty or staff in the advising center or through the registration office at FIU (the registration office only registers students who have on the Registration form the signature and Department stamp of their advisor). By requiring students to see their advisors, the College assures that they receive encouragement, guidance, information, and updates that are needed to be successful in their academic careers.  Also, the College assures that course prerequisites and departmental requirements are fulfilled, making each student’s passage efficient and worry-free. 

Accurate record keeping is crucial in any advising/registration procedure.  Each advisor maintains program-specific advising sheets on each student seen.  These sheets are tailored for individual program requirements and student backgrounds.

Information about every course offered within the student’s program of study is printed on the advising sheets.  Space is included for the grade achieved, number of credits accumulated, the course number of each course taken, and the name of the institution where courses were taken (for transfer students who took courses elsewhere).  By the end of every new student’s initial advising session, his or her academic history is completely recorded.

Among the responsibilities of the advisors is the evaluation and transfer of credits earned at other institutions by transfer students.  Courses taken by students from fully accredited ABET schools are readily transferred, and their equivalency with those offered at FIU is established easily.  Students from non-ABET accredited schools and from foreign institutions must show accreditation of their program by some other appropriate agency.  These students must provide detailed descriptions of all course work from their former schools.  EAC staff is especially vigilant in evaluating math, science, and engineering science course descriptions.  Each Department makes a thorough evaluation of course descriptions from other institutions to determine their equivalency.  Once a determination has been made, the EAC staff starts a file on that university so that succeeding transfer applicants from a particular school need not repeat the process.  The College of Engineering policy does not allow the transfer of any credits in engineering design courses from any non-ABET accredited institution.
