Engineering Learning Community  

The Engineering Learning Community in Reilly Hall and McConnell Hall connects freshman students studying:

  • electrical engineering
  • mechanical, engineering
  • civil engineering
  • environmental engineering

Join this group if you want to:

  • gain the tools, knowledge, and perspectives you need to become a leader within the engineering profession
  • enjoy inners with faculty, laboratory tours, social events, study skills workshops, academic and career planning sessions, and technical seminars from upperclassmen, graduate students, faculty and/or professionals
  • meet other students and study buddies in engineering programs

Priority enrollment

Seats in certain high-demand, major-based classes will be reserved for Engineering Learning Community residents. Your adviser will help you enroll in these courses. Visit Priority Enrollment to find out more about enrollment and advising. 

Seats will be reserved in:

Fall semester:

  • MAT 125 – Precalculus: covers the concepts of function, graphs, absolute value, linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, and systems of equations, in addition to analytic geometry. Students in the learning community will be enrolled in the same section of this course.
    OR
  • MAT 136 - Calculus I: building on the foundations of pre-calculus, this course covers the calculus of one variable including basic concepts, interpretations, techniques, and applications of differentiation and integration. Students in the learning community will be enrolled in the same section of this course.
    AND
  • EGR 186 - Intro to Engineering Design: students are introduced to the design process, problem-solving techniques, teaming skills, oral and written communication skills, and tools for success in academic and professional careers. Multiple hands-on projects are also included. Students in the learning community will be enrolled in the same section of this course.

Spring Semester:

  • MAT 136 - Calculus I: building on the foundations of precalculus, this course covers the calculus of one variable including basic concepts, interpretations, techniques, and applications of differentiation and integration. Students in the learning community will be encouraged to enroll in the same section of this course.
    OR
  • MAT 137 - Calculus II: building on Calculus I, this course covers concepts, techniques, and applications of integration, differential equations, Taylor polynomials, and infinite series. Students in the learning community will be encouraged to enroll in the same section of this course.
