WEP Facilitated Study Group Project
WEP
Facilitated Study Groups bring together small groups of
first and second year engineering women enrolled in the
same course with an upper level engineering facilitator
who has proven success in the course concepts and
requirements. Study group members meet with the
facilitator about once a week to go over homework
problems, discuss concept questions, study for exams,
and help students succeed in that course.
