The Engineering Academic Center (EAC) is a place where white boards are brimming with equations worked over by students to hone the skills they need to succeed in introductory math, physics or chemistry courses.
What does the EAC offer?
Tutoring
Through the end of January, our tutoring sessions will be run virtually, Monday through Thursday. To contact a tutor, fill out the EAC Tutor Check-in form, and you will receive access to our tutors’ Zoom spaces. You must fill out the form before each virtual session.
Topics Covered: While each of our tutors have their own individual specialties, as a group our tutoring team can assist with:
| Math | Science | Engineering Fundamentals |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Where: Online via Zoom
When: Monday – Thursday (see tutor schedule for specific times for the current quarter)
Engineers in Gear Study Sessions
Engineers in Gear (EIG) study sessions are at least 2-hour periods the week prior to exams to prepare students for the types of questions that could be asked on their upcoming exams. These sessions are facilitated by EAC staff. Students will have the opportunity to work on the concepts and problems they know they need more practice on for their upcoming exam. There will be an opportunity to review previous exams and work through sample problems. Emphasis is placed on the problem solving strategy for different types of problems. Students are encouraged to time themselves as they work through sample problems to practice the speed they’ll need for the exam.
For Winter 2022, the EIG session topics are: AA 210; CEE 220; EE 215; Math 207 and 208; ME 230; MSE 170; and Phys 121.
