The main objective of the program is to ensure that all students will receive adequate and appropriate support throughout their studies. The advisory program consist of:

• Academic Supervisor: Upon admission to the program and before the first day of registration, each student is assigned an academic supervisor, who is the representative of his/her Department on the interdepartmental committee of the program. Students can access relevant information in the Banner system, after completing their registration. The academic supervisor meets with the student before the first registration to plan the first semester of studies, assist in course selection and oversee academic progress through regular meetings at the beginning, end, and/or during the semester. The first meeting takes place at the “New Student Introductory Day” held during the week of registration, where all Students Academic Advisors are present.
  
  
• Research Advisor: (this applies only to students admitted to the Master of Science (MSc.) program). To carry out their thesis research, students must select a research advisor, who may be different from their academic advisor. It is advisable that the selection of a research advisor be the result of consultation between students and a faculty member that his/her research interests are focused on energy. The Research Advisor may come from any Department within the Faculty, regardless of the students’ Department of enrollment. In collaboration with the research advisor, a suitable and specific thesis topic must be determined. Following the submission and approval of the thesis proposal, the student, in collaboration with the research advisor, must form the thesis committee.
