After completing the orientation, an advisor in your emphasis area (i.e., environmental/water resources, geotechnical, structural, or transportation engineering) will be assigned.
Textbooks
Starting fall 2018, graduate students can rent the required textbooks in their graduate courses through SIUe Textbook Service (located at 200 University Park Drive). Please plan to have your textbooks for the first class period; otherwise, you will likely fall behind. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Textbook Service or your course instructors directly.
