Learning Communities Available to Students in the College of Engineering
Students entering First-Year Engineering are required to complete online tasks prior to registering for fall classes; you will receive directions for completing the tasks from First-Year Engineering. Some of the information from these tasks is used for initial math placement. Performance on an online math assessment may impact a student's eligibility for other courses which may be part of a learning community. You should apply for the learning communities that interest you and discuss learning community placement with an advisor during STAR, the summer orientation and registration program.
Bands and Orchestras - Engineering
The First-Year Engineering Bands and Orchestra - Engineering learning community is open to all first-year band and orchestra students who are enrolled in the College of Engineering.
