introductory engineering classes where certain students just can’t keep up with the rest of the class. Not everyone is cut out for engineering, not everyone has the natural intelligence, the grit, the academic background necessary for success. Certain students are struggling in this class, especially the students from disadvantaged backgrounds and groups. They ask a lot of questions in office hours, they work slowly, they seem lost in laboratory sessions. If they are struggling so deeply and so early, perhaps they aren’t going to make it. We feel bad for them and would like to help, but aren’t sure how to motivate them or catch them up. Do they need extra office hours? But there’s not time to help

Further, students need to complete two and half credits in science, with twoof those having a laboratory portion8.
