Workshops are offered each fall and spring semester for many of the most challenging engineering courses. These are collaborative, peer-led problem-solving sessions that aim to improve students’ grades/learning in the corresponding course. Workshops also teach students valuable group study skills and provide mentoring from peer-facilitators.

Why enroll in a workshop?
Do you want to pass your classes? Workshops can support you in doing this without spending hours studying on your own and getting frustrated. Instead, learn from experienced undergraduate students (that received a B or better in the workshop’s corresponding course and have a 3.0+ cumulative GPA) who lead workshops as peer-facilitators.
Do you want to boost your GPA? You can earn up to one full letter grade higher than your grade in the corresponding course based on your workshop attendance.
