How do i stay connected to a server across shutdowns (mac OSX)

so i am using my macbook at work. we have a server here for the engineering department. if i use the windows pcs here i can stay connected to the servers. the servers require a password and its the same one that i use for windows login. for this reason when i log it in connects me to the server and i am connected. however on my macbook i have to navigate to the server and put in my password manually using the “connect as…” option. is there a way i can automatically connect to this server every time i log in on my macbook?
