Activity
Welcome message from the Dean
and Director of Engineering
Student Services (ESS) and
student/advisor introductions.
Presentation about resources
available through Engineering
Student Services.
Objective
Create a welcoming environment that builds a
sense of community among the incoming class
and connects them with the SOE personnel.
General presentation on course
requirements, degree curriculums
and specializations, pre-requisites,
and making academic progress in
the SOE.
Introduce participants to the degree
programs, curriculum sheets and checklist,
academic choices and research areas within
the departments.
Discussion about moving from HS
to university expectations
(advisement, participation,
ownership, personal
responsibilities, faculty, etc.)
Construct a foundation on
transitioning/understanding the need for selfreliability in the student’s academic and
personal goals.
Activity
One-on-one academic advisement
Objective
Through one-on-one advisement, develop
individualized academic plans with the
students and help them interpret the
requirements to develop a sound class
schedule.
Learning Outcome
These one-on-one interactions will enable students to
receive specialized academic guidance to make wellreasoned and well-informed academic choices.
Students will also become familiar with the process of
developing a schedule of classes.
Course registration at Engineering
Computer Lab
Guide students through the computer
registration process.
Students will be able to identify how to add/drop
classes online.
Ensure every participant will learn first-hand
about the resources and support needed to
succeed at UNM as an Engineering or
Computer Science Student.
Learning Outcome
New Students will become familiar with the purpose
of attending college, being part of an academic
community and begin to relate it to their educational
goals.
Students will become familiarized with the resources
available through ESS that include specialized tutoring,
career/professional development workshops,
networking opportunities with technical industries,
professional organizations, internship opportunities,
etc.
Students will be able to recognize the importance of
technical courses and foundation courses needed to
make progress in order to enter the engineering or
computer science departments; know how to pursue
opportunities within the departments; and,
differentiate among the Dean’s List, Probation,
Academic Improvement Plan (AIP), and Academic
Warning.
Students will know where to go to get help for any
issues encountered or questions they have about their
academic career at UNM – knowing that in certain
cases, they may need to reach out to services that are
beyond the scope of ESS and the SOE.
