Collaborative Learning

In order to foster collaborative and peer learning, the AT&T MEP organizes transitioning engineering students into study groups, based on a common technical course. The groups meet for one collaborative learning session each week, based on a common convenient time. Mentor-tutors, which are upperclassmen proficient in the subject matter, are assigned as facilitators to each of the groups. The mentor- tutors provide structure to the session and insure that problem-solving progress at a reasonable pace.
