Finally, it was also found that honors students performed significantly betteron the assessments than standard students, however those differences are likely related to theextra programming instruction that those students received.

Overallthis course was designed to help ELC students develop the reading and writing skills they willuse in their future courses and later in their professional lives. Although doing well in classes is an essential component to a students’ success in theirengineering programs, many of the reasons that students left their programs were not related toacademics. The research mentioned previously, suggests that engineering students often leavetheir programs due to non-academic reasons such as student engagement. In order to address thisissue, the ELC connected students to various campus resources including the Learning ResourcesCenter, the Career Center and the
