What is a Facilitated Study Group?
The Women in Engineering Program Facilitated Study Groups bring together small groups of first and second year engineering women, who are enrolled in the same courses, with an upper-level engineering facilitator. Study group members meet with the facilitator about once a week in order to go over homework problems, discuss conceptual questions, study for exams, and help students succeed in their courses.
