Engineering Learning Center
The ELC supports its mission through a holistic approach to learning and success that includes a variety of services and programs such as free tutoring, boot-camps, exam preparation, success coaching, and guided study sessions. ELC services are tailored to engineering and computer science students, programs, and courses and cover major courses across the four CECS departments.
Drop-In Tutoring
Students can attend drop-in hours to connect with a tutor/mentor to review material and ask questions about a specific course. No appointment is needed. Students can stop by and briefly meet with a tutor or stay for a period of time to work one on one with the tutor. All students are also welcome to utilize the ELC space to study independently or with a friend. Our doors are open Monday-Friday. If the HPEC building is open the ELC is open.

Exam Review Sessions and Bootcamps
Exam Review Sessions for midterms, upcoming exams and finals. Tutors conduct small group sessions and are familiar with the material and professors and are supportive of your success in the course. Exam Review Sessions will be posted in the ELC and shared with professors and students prior to the exams.
When? If you would like a review session for your class, please speak to a tutor directly or email [email protected].
CIS Bootcamp is to review fundamental concepts to prepare students to succeed in CIS 200 and beyond. The bootcamps are led by CIS upperclassmen and include ELC Tutors and Supplemental Instructors (SI) Leaders. Students that have completed CIS 150 may need a refresher or review to better prepare them as they move forward.
When? Bootcamps are conducted during the first week of the semester during the CIS 200 lab period as most labs are not regularly scheduled during that week.
