Make sure to select the form that corresponds to your entrance date to Purdue.  It will guide you to identify EEE Selective and Technical Elective choices, and consider how they support your career interests.

    • Upon submission this online platform generates an email to the mentor, student and EEE advisors with Subject: EEE MENTOR FORM.  Keep this email.
    • At conclusion of meeting, request that your Mentor immediately ‘reply all’ to that original email to document your meeting and to note any recommendations, reminders or questions to you (or EEE advisor) in body of email.
