We are currentlyworking to obtain and analyze a larger control group to better understand the differences betweenthe control group and the experimental group. In addition, this particular control group only didtwo peer evaluations that we had access to rather than the three evaluations performed in theexperimental section.

The ELC sought to give the students a campus communitywhere they can form friendships and connections with their peers. A unique component of theELC is that the students are paired with a peer mentor known as a Peer Advocate Leader (PAL).PALs are utilized in the classroom to help connect the first-year students to campus resourcesand to plan social events to build a class community. These mentors can have a huge impact andcan help students adjust to the college environment. The PAL mentors for both runs of the ELCwere engineering majors themselves, so they were able to connect students with engineeringresources as well. In addition to a peer mentor, the

Teamwork is another important part of the course, which is heavily weighted for gradingpurposes. Teams are formed in the beginning of the semester using a random process of groupingstudents.
