Questions for Reflection Why did you choose to pursue a major in Engineering? What are your academic and career goals? Given the information you have gathered from your orientation sessions and from your individual advising, do you understand how each class for the semester fits within your curriculum? Reflect on the personal and professional opportunities available to you as an Engineering student. Have you considered an internship or cooperative education experience? Have you thought about participating in undergraduate research? Are you interested in a five-year BS/ MS degree path? Are you planning to pursue a pre-medical curriculum? Is graduate school your goal? What kind of career do you envision? How many hours do you plan to study each week? Remember, a good rule of thumb is two hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. For a schedule of 16 hours, this would mean 32 hours a week in study and preparation, plus the 16 hours spent in class! Do you know where to find resources to support your academic studies? Don’t hesitate to take advantage of these options! Do you already have an electronic or paper calendar/planner to keep track of due dates, tests, and holidays? Time management will be critical to your success as a college student. Do you know where to find resources to help you manage your time? Have you thought about an international or intercultural experience? Do you want to study abroad? If so, what country or region interests you? When might you think about going abroad? What kinds of classes do you want to take there? Transfer Student reflections (in addition to the questions listed above): Review the evaluation of your credits on your Academic History. Are you currently enrolled in classes elsewhere? Do you need to send a final transcript from a previous institution for all your credit to appear? Do you need to gather syllabi and course descriptions to petition credits you have earned to meet requirements for your degree? Do you know where you will be advised next semester? Do you know where your department is located? Have you considered ways to get involved at the University of Tennessee? Have you looked at the list of student organizations? 57
