Engineering Graphics: Teaching Honors and Developmental Students

工科学生中经常存在两极分化 程序. 不断变化的人口结构显著增加了 少数民族人口，其中许多人准备不足， 满足工程课程的严格要求。 与此同时，工程学往往会吸引 有天赋的学生，包括少数民族。 该项目开发 一个多方面的辅导计划，为发展中的学生， 大一的工程制图课 同侪导师作为 导师、学术顾问和数学导师。 主 该项目的目的是增加保留工程 学生，无论是那些谁被认为是在风险，因为穷人 学术背景和那些谁是荣誉学生。

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.
