The Total Learning Environment Of Our Freshman Engineering Students

In building our freshman-engineering curriculum we have come to appreciate the importance of and are continuously searching for ways to enhance the living and learning environment that helps our students succeed in their first year of college life. The elements that make up our efforts to facilitate learning are: learning communities where likeminded students live and study together, proactive advising/mentoring where we discuss with each student their academic progress and career goals on a regular basis rather than waiting for the student to come to us for advice, workshops dealing with campus living issues, real career mentoring, and a technologically enhanced living and learning environment.
