Faculty Mentors

School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) students are required to meet with the assigned faculty mentor from their major once per academic year. The term students meet with their mentor is determined by their last name.

• Last names beginning A-L – Meet in the Fall
• Last names beginning M-Z – Meet in the Spring

Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their faculty mentor early in the semester.

The purpose of these meetings is to open an ongoing conversation on topics such as career options, internships and employment opportunities within the student’s chosen field, option/elective course choices, and graduate school opportunities at both WSU and other institutions. Specific topics discussed during these meetings will vary according to mentors and students individually and no two interactions look alike.

Students will be reminded of this requirement during their advising appointment, but the order in which students complete these meetings is not set. Students can meet with their advisor or mentor first, but normally meeting with the mentor first is encouraged.
