[00:00:01.330]Welcome to the College of Engineering
[00:00:02.880]on the Scott Campus in Omaha.
[00:00:04.790]We are excited to see you throughout the summer.
[00:00:07.120]This module will introduce you
[00:00:08.730]to Engineering Student Services
[00:00:10.260]and the opportunities we offer before the start of the year
[00:00:13.152]and during your time with us in the College of Engineering.
[00:00:16.300]My name is Garrett Gassman
[00:00:17.530]and I am the Director of Academic Advising.
[00:00:20.010]I will be narrating parts of this presentation,
[00:00:22.310]but you will also get to hear
[00:00:23.600]from other members of the Engineering Student Services team
[00:00:26.310]throughout the presentation.
[00:00:32.030]As a College of Engineering student
[00:00:33.960]on the Scott Campus, you will have the unique opportunity
[00:00:36.650]to be part of many different communities.
[00:00:39.210]As an Engineering student, you will be pursuing a degree
[00:00:42.030]that is a University of Nebraska-Lincoln program.
[00:00:45.280]That means when you graduate,
[00:00:46.750]you will receive a diploma from UNL.
[00:00:49.455]As a student on the Scott campus,
[00:00:51.470]you will take part in the student experience
[00:00:53.217]at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
[00:00:56.185]The Durham School is unique to three of our programs
[00:00:59.130]on the Scott Campus, including architectural engineering,
[00:01:01.980]construction engineering, and construction management.
[00:01:05.000]The Durham School has strong partnerships with industry
[00:01:07.410]that provide support to our students,
[00:01:09.200]including scholarships.
[00:01:11.400]Finally, you will also be taking the majority
[00:01:14.060]of your Engineering classes
[00:01:15.510]in the Peter Kiewit Institute building.
[00:01:17.800]PKI is not just a building, but another support system
[00:01:20.990]that provides additional opportunities
[00:01:22.810]to our students on the Scott campus.
[00:01:25.540]On the right, you will see information
[00:01:27.330]on our social media accounts.
[00:01:29.000]We recommend that you get connected on these pages
[00:01:31.850]and keep up with the current happenings in the college.
[00:01:37.380]My role in the college is to lead a team
[00:01:39.620]in Engineering Student Services,
[00:01:41.610]committed to supporting you
[00:01:42.880]and achieving your academic and career goals
[00:01:45.810]while you're an Engineering student and beyond.
[00:01:48.481]One of the areas I lead is something
[00:01:50.420]we call The Complete Engineer.
[00:01:51.900]At a very basic level, The Complete Engineer
[00:01:54.160]at Nebraska is an engineer who has
[00:01:56.580]both a strong technical skillset
[00:01:59.074]and non-technical skills needed
[00:02:01.590]to be a successful engineer these days.
[00:02:03.830]We asked engineering employers
[00:02:05.609]to help us identify the most important of these skills
[00:02:09.230]and together we developed
[00:02:10.207]our six Complete Engineer competencies.
[00:02:12.849]Inclusive excellence, communication,
[00:02:15.665]teamwork, self-management and leadership,
[00:02:19.110]civic responsibility, and professionalism and ethics.
[00:02:23.740]We want all our students to work
[00:02:25.340]on developing these competencies
[00:02:27.310]and strive to be The Complete Engineer.
[00:02:29.730]You can build these skills through
[00:02:31.060]just about anything you do in the College of Engineering.
[00:02:33.640]You'll find our competency icons throughout our website,
[00:02:36.518]on our event flyers, and even throughout this slideshow.
[00:02:40.520]We make sure you grow and develop during your time here,
[00:02:43.390]whether that's through an internship,
[00:02:44.840]a student organization you join,
[00:02:46.440]research you conduct alongside our amazing faculty,
[00:02:49.740]or even going to The Complete Engineer conference.
[00:02:52.500]You're going to learn more about plenty of opportunities
[00:02:54.850]to get involved through the rest of this presentation,
[00:02:57.190]so plan to take advantage of anything and everything.
[00:02:59.710]Trust me, your path to becoming
[00:03:01.250]a great engineer begins here at Nebraska.
[00:03:03.990]There's more information
[00:03:04.920]on this at go.unl.edu/completeengineer.
[00:03:11.550]The best way to get involved right away
[00:03:13.360]in the College of Engineering is to start
[00:03:15.330]at the NUBE Experience.
[00:03:16.970]NUBE stands for Nebraska Undergraduates Becoming Engineers.
[00:03:20.940]It's a really fun, two-day program happening
[00:03:22.419]right before school starts.
[00:03:24.560]All new, first-year students are expected to attend NUBE
[00:03:27.244]and students who have attended
[00:03:28.720]in the past have amazing things to say about it.
[00:03:31.210]For the first day, we focus on orienting you
[00:03:33.330]to life as a student in the College of Engineering.
[00:03:35.860]You'll meet current students who can give you tons of advice
[00:03:38.250]and get to know some faculty in your major
[00:03:40.080]before classes even begin.
[00:03:41.940]The second day is reserved for our annual industry day.
[00:03:45.200]The exciting thing about day two of NUBE is the opportunity
[00:03:48.020]to see your major in action.
[00:03:49.680]You'll see real project sites
[00:03:51.050]or company locations, plus you'll get to network
[00:03:53.430]with engineers who might even wanna talk
[00:03:55.200]to you about internships.
[00:03:56.890]NUBE is a great headstart, and it's completely free
[00:03:59.280]so that everyone can take advantage of this opportunity.
[00:04:01.990]Dates and sign-up information can be found on this slide.
[00:04:04.790]Registration is just a quick, online form.
[00:04:06.980]So head to our website as soon as you can
[00:04:09.080]at nube.unl.edu.
[00:04:16.500]Alma Ramirez-Rodgers
[00:04:17.910]is the Senior Assistant Director of Student Development.
[00:04:21.010]She specifically works with current student programming
[00:04:23.630]and serves as a resource for our student organizations.
[00:04:27.290]One of the opportunities she coordinates
[00:04:29.130]is the Engineering Readiness Academy or ERA.
[00:04:32.497]ERA is a one-week, residential bridge program,
[00:04:35.910]designed to provide a head start
[00:04:37.450]for incoming engineering
[00:04:38.660]and construction management students.
[00:04:40.930]ERA has many goals, but the primary goal
[00:04:43.360]is to prepare students early for academic,
[00:04:46.280]personal, and career success.
[00:04:48.550]Not only will the program refresh students' math skills
[00:04:52.540]through supplemental instruction,
[00:04:54.990]but it will also help students get connected early
[00:04:57.540]to their peers, faculty, and staff.
[00:05:00.020]Please visit the link on the slide for more information
[00:05:02.550]on the program, cost, and application details.
[00:05:08.360]As new students, we highly recommend you get involved
[00:05:10.900]outside the classroom.
[00:05:12.410]This can include joining one
[00:05:13.670]of our many College of Engineering student organizations,
[00:05:16.250]in which several are listed on the slide.
[00:05:18.880]Participating in UNO Signature Service Days
[00:05:21.440]or joining us for the various activities scheduled
[00:05:24.210]during the school year.
[00:05:26.240]Several events are held in the first week of classes
[00:05:28.720]during what is known as Welcome Week.
[00:05:31.120]This week will include a PKI student organization
[00:05:34.700]and resource fair that you are encouraged to attend
[00:05:37.540]as this will provide you a chance
[00:05:39.240]to meet current members of PKI organizations
[00:05:42.030]and learn about involvement opportunities.
[00:05:45.226]Resource offices will also be available to answer questions.
[00:05:50.400]There are several benefits to getting involved on campus.
[00:05:52.970]Some of these include helping you connect to campus
[00:05:55.930]and build your community, hone skills that future employers
[00:05:59.360]look for, i.e. good for the resume,
[00:06:02.051]and provide students an opportunity
[00:06:04.020]to discover their passions, strengths, and talents.
[00:06:09.180]Whether you want to pursue graduate school,
[00:06:11.240]work in industry, or otherwise,
[00:06:13.040]Engineering Career Services supports you
[00:06:15.040]on your individual path to success.
[00:06:17.440]I'm Robia Qasimyar,
[00:06:18.650]and I work on the Engineer Career Services team.
[00:06:21.097]My role in the college is to support engineering
[00:06:23.534]and construction students in all things career.
[00:06:26.200]From one-on-one coaching appointments,
[00:06:27.830]to planning events, to connecting you to industry
[00:06:30.130]and future opportunities.
[00:06:31.880]I also teach Engineering 200,
[00:06:33.780]the Career Development Seminar,
[00:06:34.952]and run the Durham School Career Fair.
[00:06:38.650]The easiest way to get involved
[00:06:39.930]with Career Services is to sign up
[00:06:42.060]for a career coaching appointment.
[00:06:43.681]I'll help you create or review your resume,
[00:06:46.330]write a cover letter, plan a job search strategy,
[00:06:49.090]and develop your interview skills.
[00:06:51.120]Not sure how to answer questions like,
[00:06:52.960]tell me about yourself?
[00:06:54.350]What makes you unique?
[00:06:55.460]Or why do you want to work for us?
[00:06:57.630]I'm here to offer that support.
[00:06:59.480]In Omaha, we also offer the Gallup Strengths Assessment
[00:07:02.140]at no cost to students.
[00:07:03.860]This is yet another way to grow self-awareness
[00:07:06.020]and aid in your professional development.
[00:07:08.650]Take these new skills and your updated resume
[00:07:10.580]to a career fair to put your hard work into action.
[00:07:13.560]Students may attend a variety of career fairs
[00:07:15.880]throughout the year.
[00:07:16.770]Most notably are the STEM Fairs,
[00:07:18.474]the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fairs,
[00:07:21.510]in Lincoln, and the Durham School Career Fair in Omaha,
[00:07:24.380]which is tailored to architectural engineering,
[00:07:26.240]civil engineering, and construction students.
[00:07:28.950]A free shuttle runs from PKI, the Peter Kiewit Institute
[00:07:32.368]to Lincoln, and the Durham School Career Fair
[00:07:35.350]is just blocks away from PKI.
[00:07:37.360]So you can find these fairs easily accessible.
[00:07:40.970]I highly encourage underclassmen to attend
[00:07:42.970]at least one career fair a year.
[00:07:44.960]Whether you want an internship the summer
[00:07:46.480]after your freshman year, which is a feasible goal,
[00:07:49.071]or just want to see what's available in the future,
[00:07:51.490]a fair is great way to learn how to market yourself
[00:07:54.020]and chat with alumni and real-life engineers.
[00:07:57.060]Finally, keep an eye out for career-related events
[00:07:59.570]happening on campus throughout the year.
[00:08:01.580]Employers will come and set up shop in the PKI atrium,
[00:08:04.250]so you can stop by between classes.
[00:08:06.220]And I'll host walk-in resume reviews in the building,
[00:08:09.030]and a variety of other events
[00:08:10.440]like industry mixers and workshops.
[00:08:12.920]Simply read your email to stay on top of all the ways
[00:08:15.190]to be connected and become prepared for the job search.
[00:08:18.210]I truly believe your future career starts day one on campus.
[00:08:21.690]The clubs you choose to join,
[00:08:23.010]the internships you pursue,
[00:08:24.480]and your first resume review are all building blocks
[00:08:26.675]to your path to success.
[00:08:29.256]Get involved, be active,
[00:08:31.070]and remember, I'm always here to help.
[00:08:35.810]Hello, I'm Garrett Gassman,
[00:08:37.320]Director of Advising for the College of Engineering.
[00:08:39.691]During the enrollment process,
[00:08:41.540]you will get to meet your academic advisor.

[00:08:46.550]will generally meet with you
[00:08:47.690]throughout the first two years of your academics
[00:08:49.876]and then will help you transition
[00:08:51.620]to a faculty advisor in your third year.
[00:08:54.350]Keeping your academics in mind,
[00:08:55.990]advisors will assist in course scheduling
[00:08:58.050]and long-term planning, answering college policy
[00:09:00.890]and curriculum questions, discussing course load commitment
[00:09:04.170]and balancing classes, involvement, work, and personal life.
[00:09:09.080]We can also help you in adding a minor,
[00:09:11.360]changing your major, pursuing an education
[00:09:13.660]of broad experience, navigating difficulties in a course,
[00:09:16.778]getting you connected to resources and more.
[00:09:19.697]Whatever your goals are, we are here
[00:09:21.720]to help you along the way.
[00:09:23.720]On this slide, I want to introduce you
[00:09:25.710]to several members of our advising team.
[00:09:28.160]The majors each advisor serve are listed.
[00:09:30.800]The best way to know who your advisor is is to look
[00:09:33.650]on MavLink and schedule an appointment using MavTrack.
[00:09:40.440]Hello, my name is Kayla Flott,

[00:10:21.490]As a College of Engineering student,
[00:10:23.170]you will be following University
[00:10:24.670]of Nebraska-Lincoln's general education structure.
[00:10:27.750]You may have learned more about Omaha's structure
[00:10:30.070]for general education,
[00:10:31.280]but you will be following the ACE requirements.
[00:10:33.858]ACE stands for Achievement Centered Education,
[00:10:36.770]and there are 10 categories of electives
[00:10:38.970]that you will complete throughout your degree.
[00:10:41.590]Some of the electives are pre-determined for you.
[00:10:44.190]For example, for your ACE three, math requirement,
[00:10:47.170]Math 1950, Calculus I is the class
[00:10:50.060]that all engineering students need to take
[00:10:52.330]to fulfill this requirement.
[00:10:53.939]Other electives are flexible
[00:10:55.479]and you will get to choose from a list.
[00:10:58.020]This slide outlines the flexible electives
[00:11:00.440]for each program on the left.
[00:11:02.450]Your advisors will go over this more
[00:11:04.360]with you at your enrollment date.
[00:11:07.240]We wanted to highlight a few classes
[00:11:09.820]that you might be interested in taking.
[00:11:12.410]The next two slides outline some engineering courses
[00:11:15.050]that we offer.

[00:11:57.958]The class will walk you through the entire process
[00:12:00.640]of creating a resume, to accepting an offer.
[00:12:06.127]The classes presented on this slide
[00:12:08.850]are some four credit options
[00:12:10.490]that will fulfill requirements in your degree program.
[00:12:13.520]Engineering 1000, Interpersonal Skills
[00:12:16.010]for Engineers will fulfill
[00:12:17.430]the Ace Two public speaking requirement for most majors.
[00:12:21.050]For civil engineering,
[00:12:22.140]it will be counted as a professional development elective.
[00:12:25.670]The class is designed to provide you
[00:12:27.510]with specific interpersonal skills
[00:12:29.300]that will help you in the engineering industry.
[00:12:32.070]Engineering 2000, Professionalism and Perspective,

[00:13:43.688]as well as greets you at our front desk
[00:13:46.420]in Engineering Student Services.
[00:13:50.980]The last group for you
[00:13:51.920]to meet includes our recruitment team.
[00:13:53.970]Maggie Jobes, Jeff Beavers,
[00:13:55.940]Jana Burns, Felix Cortes, and Jared Ludwig
[00:13:58.960]make up our recruitment team, serving the Omaha campus,
[00:14:02.540]though Maggie, Jeff, and Jared also support recruitment
[00:14:05.330]and scholarships for our campus in Lincoln.
[00:14:08.120]If you received a tour on a campus visit,
[00:14:10.730]you may have met members of their Dean's Leaders,
[00:14:13.220]current engineering students who help give tours
[00:14:16.100]and answer your questions about student life.
[00:14:21.430]Finally, I want to leave you
[00:14:22.930]with our top five tips to be successful
[00:14:25.400]as you prepare for classes to begin.
[00:14:27.690]Step one, check your email.
[00:14:29.920]Don't miss out on alerts from your instructors,
[00:14:32.040]opportunities from internships to scholarships and more.
[00:14:35.430]Get in the habit and start this summer.
[00:14:37.520]We'll be contacting you about ways you can prepare
[00:14:39.650]for your first semester.
[00:14:41.810]Step two, don't be afraid to build relationships
[00:14:44.660]with your faculty and staff.
[00:14:46.480]We want to get to know you so we can help you succeed.
[00:14:49.340]We can often point you to resources
[00:14:50.761]maybe you hadn't yet thought about,
[00:14:52.673]help facilitate connections,
[00:14:54.362]and generally help you work towards your goals.
[00:14:58.990]Step three, when you need help, ask for it.
[00:15:02.260]And ask early before a situation becomes overwhelming.
[00:15:05.630]You can go to your advisor,
[00:15:07.050]Engineering Student Services staff member,
[00:15:09.041]or any other faculty or staff member you've met
[00:15:11.860]for help along the way.
[00:15:19.950]Step four, get involved early.
[00:15:22.400]Join at least one student organization on campus,
[00:15:24.970]preferably in engineering.
[00:15:26.820]You will have a built-in study group,
[00:15:28.340]connections for internships or jobs,
[00:15:30.360]and just a good community of friends.
[00:15:33.700]And finally, step five, sign up for NUBE.
[00:15:36.930]Your next step after today is to get signed up
[00:15:39.130]by the deadline listed on the website.
[00:15:41.200]It's the next part of your student experience,
[00:15:43.200]so go to the website with a parent
[00:15:44.730]or guardian soon at nube.unl.edu.
[00:15:53.000]Thank you for taking the time
[00:15:53.833]to review this video.
[00:15:55.710]We are excited to meet you through advising
[00:15:57.960]and at the start of the school year.
