  • Make-up Exam Policy Reminder

    All students are expected to take their exams at the regularly-scheduled time, in the classroom (or the SDS Testing Center, if the student secured the accommodation from SDS). If required by scheduling constraints, start times for SDS Testing Center exams may be adjusted. Other exceptions are very rare. Make-up exams will only be given in the event of:

    • Major emergency (e.g., car accident, serious illness involving physical incapacitation), with proper documentation.
    • Legal obligation (e.g., jury duty, military orders), with proper documentation.
    • Obligation to University (e.g., athletic competition or other university-sponsored event involving required travel), with proper documentation.

    Students are responsible for being aware of the University of Tennessee Academic Calendar. This includes being aware of start and end dates for the semesters and for fall break/spring break. Do not request exam rescheduling to accommodate your personal travel plans.

  • TCE AY 24-25 Undergraduate Research Program
    This program is open to freshmen and sophomore engineering students and is designed to support undergraduate engineering students who want to start a new undergraduate research experience (i.e., the student must not have had a previous paid research experience with their prospective faculty mentor). Student applicants are required to seek out a faculty mentor and ask them to provide a letter of support indicating that they will provide guidance in choosing a research topic, conducting the project, and creating a research poster. Students may choose a faculty mentor from another college besides engineering, but must submit a short statement about how this work will enhance their engineering education.

    The link below lists several TCE faculty that have indicated their interest in supporting new students as part of this program. While students are not limited to these faculty, this list could serve as a resource for students who are seeking a mentor.
