mentor, known as an SI leader, in solving problems, receiving tips on good study habits,and other student success strategies. This is in contrast to the just-in-time tutoring sessions thatare more “drop-in” in format, getting answers to specific questions the students have. This paperwill assess the effects that these two different methods have on success rates in the course,defined as receiving an A, B, or C. Further, this paper will explore first semester engineeringretention data in order to assess the effects that these learning resources listed above have madeon the already effective engineering retention rates shown in the class as a whole. Finally, thispaper will explore the effect these methods have on particular student groups shown to

Bettinger & Loeb [16] examined the performance of online versus onsite studentsat DeVry University, where the average student takes two-thirds of their courses online and one-third onsite at one of DeVry’s physical campuses. They determined that students taking a coursein-person earned roughly a B- grade (2.8) on average, while if the course would have been takenonline, the students would have earned a C (2.4). The analysis also revealed that taking a courseonline reduces a student’s GPA the following term by 0.15 points. The decline in GPA for thenext term is even larger for courses in the same subject area or courses for
