Engineering Peer Advisors

The Engineering Peer Advisors are knowledgeable, trained, and friendly engineering students who connect peers to the support they need. Engineering Peer Advisors are students assisting students with everything from deciding what major is right for them, customizing their college experience, discovering student societies and organizations, tips on talking with faculty, and much more!

Peer-to-Peer programs are shown to promote persistence, provide opportunities that encourage academic success, and foster a sense of belonging. Engineering Peer Advisors are here to help students thrive in the College of Engineering & Applied Science at CU Boulder.

The Engineering Peer Advisor Program strives to:

Encourage successful academic and personal development
Promote student involvement
Enrich the connections among engineering students, the college and the CU Boulder campus

Below are some of the types of conversations students may have with an Engineering Peer Advisor:

Connecting with resources to assist with understanding major requirements, course selection, and drafting a customized degree plan

Recommendations for math help
Exploring opportunities to customize your degree
Learning about academic support resources
