Seminar Requirement

Continuous registration in ME 590 or TAM 500 is required. Seminar credit cannot be counted toward coursework requirements. Students are required to attend a minimum of 4 seminars per semester. 

Students who are enrolled in a course that conflicts with ME 590 or TAM 500 must request a registration override, register for ME 590 or TAM 500, and attend alternate seminars. Students who arrive late or leave early from a seminar will not receive credit for attending.

To complete seminar registration with a conflict:

1. Request a registration override by contacting the Undergraduate Programs Office at mechse-ug-advise@illinois.edu. Include your name, UIN, and the course you are enrolled in that is in conflict with the seminar.

2. You will receive an email when the override is entered.

3. You must register for ME 590 or TAM 500 after the override is entered.

To receive credit for “alternate seminars” :

* Alternate seminars include MechSE Fluids seminar series (TAM 539),  Manufacturing Interest Group seminar series (MFIG), any other MechSE seminars not within the MechSE Seminar Series (ME 590/ TAM 500) and any other seminars in Engineering, Math, or Physics.

Until seminars resume in full “In Person” format,   students are on their honor to attend a minimum of 4 seminars during the semester.
