lower level of math preparation, available researchin the literature as well as our own internal data (mentioned above) shows that they arestatistically less likely to be retained in engineering, technology, and computer science programs.Previous research has shown the potential impact of focused tutoring interventions on first-yearengineering student success [e.g., 4-8]. Drop-in tutoring has previously been available atmultiple SSCs including one in a residence hall with a large first-year engineering population(open in the evenings) and one in the main engineering building (open during the day).However, usage of these SSC locations by students in ENGR 2100 has tended to be low. Tomake the tutoring more intrusive, time has been specifically
