Students participating in a learning community enroll in the same set of courses and a one-credit Learning Community Seminar. In the seminar students get to participate in group review sessions, where they review concepts from the other courses. Students that participate in learning communities tend to have more academic success. Students that participate in learning communities tend to have increased GPA's than those who do not participate in learning communities. Those who participate in learning communities get a better insight into the Mechanical Engineering profession.
Students participating in learning communities generally have more fun in their engineering courses.
For the 1999-2000 Academic Year we will only have 7 learning communities available. With time we hope to give every mechanical engineering undergraduate student the opportunity to participate in a learning community, if they wish to do so. Fill out you touch-tone registration worksheet with one of the schedules listed above. Turn it in to your advisor. Students for each learning community will be selected randomly if we have more interested students that available spaces.
