BAEM Advising Guide
Welcome!
As a BAEM student there is a large amount of information that you will need to know as you progress through your course work towards your graduation date. This document was assembled to assist you in this process and to provide you with the information you will need to know to effectively complete your degree. If you have any questions regarding the information in these pages, please feel free to contact your advisor or the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
The menu to the left is the table of contents for the advising guide.
Recent Program Changes
You may have noticed some changes to AEM courses in the catalogs. The following is a short list of the changes. Contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies if you have any questions.
- AEM 4301 has been renamed Oribtal Mechanics to better reflect its content.
- AEM 4303 is now AEM 4303W and is 4 credits. This is to allow juniors to skip taking AEM 4332W. Current seniors that still need to take 4303 (and 4332W) will get extra writing instruction and earn an extra credit.
- AEM 4332W is being offered Spring 2008 for the last time. The BAEM program for students graduating Dec. 2008 or later no longer requires this course.
- AEM 4331 will be 4 credits starting in Fall 2008 and will cover both aircraft and spacecraft.
- AEM 4302 -- Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics and Control, a new technical elective, will be offered Spring 2008.
One Year Plans are submitted on-line each spring.

2008-3-14: Advising for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 is now underway. An email with instructions was sent to all BAEM upper Division students, you can view it here.
Each spring an advising hold is placed on your records. To remove this hold you must complete the BAEM advising process. The process starts with you submitting your plans for the next year using the on-line SRS (Student Records System). As part of this process you may request an appointment with your advisor. Once your have submitted your plans and your advisor has approved them, the hold will be removed from your records and you can register for fall classes. For more information see the instructions for this process.
Magic Numbers and Holds
