There often exists a polarization of students in engineering programs. Changing demographics have significantly increased the minority population, many of whom are under-prepared to meet the rigorous demands of the engineering curriculum. Simultaneously, engineering very often attracts exceptionally gifted students, including minorities. This project develops a multi-faceted tutorial program for developmental students in the freshman engineering graphics class. Peer tutors act as mentors, academic advisors and mathematics tutors. The primary purpose of the project is to increase retention of engineering students, both those who are considered at-risk because of poor academic backgrounds and those who are honors students.

工程专业的学生往往存在两极分化。不断变化的人口结构大大增加了少数民族人口，其中许多人准备不足，无法满足工程课程的严格要求。与此同时，工程学经常吸引特别有天赋的学生，包括少数族裔。本项目为大一工程图学的发展性学生开发了一个多方面的辅导计划。同伴导师作为导师，学术顾问和数学导师。该项目的主要目的是增加工程专业学生的留校率，包括那些因学术背景差而被认为有风险的学生和那些获得荣誉的学生。
