During the first year, students are assigned a freshman adviser. At the beginning of the sophomore year, most students will have selected a major field of study and will be reassigned an adviser in that area. The adviser assists in planning the program of study, but students retain the responsibility of meeting overall graduation requirements. The McCormick School employs professional counselors available to give students educational, vocational, academic, and personal counseling. Students may arrange to have interest testing through the Counseling Office.
Vocational materials relating to engineering are available.
The Northwestern Engineering Student Council is composed of representatives from each class in engineering and from approved McCormick organizations. It is the recognized representative body of undergraduate engineering students and as such serves as a link between the students and faculty and administration. It encourages and coordinates the activities of engineering students and student groups. The McCormick Undergraduate Research Board is organized to stimulate undergraduate research and to provide financial support for projects begun by individual students.
