Registration for the next semester starts each semester shortly after midterm grades
are released. Students should prepare a draft schedule and discuss it with a dept
faculty advisor to get their advising APIN.
The registrar’s website provides forms for adding or dropping classes, intent to graduate,
residency forms, and academic warning. On the financial aid website, there are resources
for working on campus, applying for scholarships, loans, and FAFSA.
The Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design course (Meng 110) is structured
to help students transition to life at NMT as well as introduce basic engineering
tools including coding, drafting, and teamwork. The class introduces students to
alumni working in various organizations ranging from National Labs to private industry.
The graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants (TA’s) who support this class have
developed the above resources to help new students succeed.
Academic Advising:
First Semester students are assigned to one of 4 Faculty advisors in the Mechanical
Engineering Department that specialize in new student advising. After the 1st-semester
students are split among all faculty in the Mechanical Engineering Department for
academic advising. Connect with a new student advisor
The advisor guides the student through the duration of the program, aiding in course
selection, finding internships, scholarships, research opportunities, and options
for graduate school. Any issues a student encounters in a course can be aided by the
advisor. The relationship developed between the advisor and the student serves as
another support system for the student’s educational career. Students have the ability
to change their advisor at any time to someone in their subject area using achange advisor form.
