First-year students in Auburn’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering may join a co-ed cohort of students. Engineering is a challenging degree choice and requires students to quickly learn how to manage their work and time, as well as their own learning process to be successful; therefore, the engineering residential learning community focuses on providing students with direct access to an engineering student services, as well as an engineering advisor throughout their first year. Additionally, by participating in this learning community, students are provided with a support system that encourages them to develop good academic habits, helps them learn about engineering as a degree and career choice, and connects them the engineering community at Auburn. The final project in the associated learning strategies courses requires students to describe their own process of becoming a successful engineering student.
