Student Self-Help Guides:

Summer 2025 Registration

Summer 2025 registration season has begun.  Time tickets have opened for most students. Your time ticket is in myPurdue>Register for Classes card>Registration Status & Time Ticket. The full summer Schedule of Classes is also in your myPurdue portal. Online classes are incredibly popular with undergraduate students.  Students can view the full list of online courses on the Think Summer website.  

Students manually schedule themselves in the Scheduling Assistant for summer session instead of completing a course request form (CRF) and being enrolled later. Unsure what this means? Follow this step-by-step video.  

The summer PIN will be needed and it is the same as the spring PIN that you received for Spring 2025. Students are welcome to make an appointment with their primary advisor in BoilerConnect if they are unsure what courses to take.  Students are NOT required to do EEE mentoring for summer registration.

Other Summer 2025 info:

BIOL 28600 was recently added to the summer schedule and the course is already nearing full capacity. If you need this course in summer, enroll quickly.

EEE Job Corner with Ms. Whelton, PE

This section is prepared for the newsletter by Ms. Margaret Whelton, PE.  She is the EEE Manager of Industrial Experience.  The responsibilities of this position include working with industry to secure internships, co-ops, and full time job opportunities for students; developing real world senior design and research projects; and facilitating partnerships between industry and Environmental and Ecological Engineering. She has twelve years of experience as a practicing environmental engineer prior to becoming part of EEE.  She is a registered professional engineer in Indiana, Virginia, and Alabama. 

Career fairs for the spring are still occurring.  There is one more career fair this month that may have some EEE opportunities.

Ag Career Fair

Another fair at the end of the month you may attend is the College of Agriculture Spring Career Fair.  If you have limited time, I always recommend EXPO in the spring semester and suggest skipping the Ag Fair.  The Ag Fair will be on February 26th from 10am to 2:30pm in the CoRec. This fair is also not on the career fair plus app.  All the companies that attend will be ag focused.  Since it is through the college of agriculture you will need to look at the majors that are environmentally related.  You should be able to see the majors and specific positions here.  Remember any company that makes something needs an environmental engineer for environmental regulations, not to mention sustainability goals. 

As of now, the Ag Fair will be the last (EEE related) career fair until the “Just in Time” career fair on April 16th.   You never know which or how many companies will come to “Just in Time” as it is those still looking for employees. 

International Student Workshops

For international students, the CCO is offering two workshops to help you prepare for the job market.  Both require registration and can be accessed via zoom or in person for the workshop itself.  You register via the event URL link in the event link.

The Networking Tips for International Students in on February 13th at 3pm.  There will also be a workshop on Work Visa Options for International Students on February 25th at 3pm.

Mental Health Screening Day

On Wednesday, February 12, from 9-3: Nursing Center for Family Health, an interdisciplinary clinic and teaching space on campus in LYLE, is hosting a mental health screening day where students can come for a free appointment to chat with one of our Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) students in a safe, non-judgmental environment to provide support and recommendations for local resources to assist them. This is open to any current Purdue student (graduate or undergraduate).  Sign-up here.
