Our engineering Undergraduate Learning Center (ULC) provides tutoring and academic support programs specifically for you. It’s a place where you can study, form study groups, and discuss engineering concepts and problem-solving strategies—not only with tutors, but with other engineering students.
We focus on supporting you so that you can succeed in the challenging courses you’ll take as you progress through your engineering major. We also provide support in select core engineering, math, statistics and science courses.
We know it’s important to learn the “how” and “why” behind an answer, and we’ll help you build that foundation of knowledge so you can be successful throughout your time here. You can also come to the ULC just to practice and reinforce the concepts you’re learning.
The ULC offers services that are designed to fit how you study best. Explore each service below for more info and schedules.
