Freshmen Engineering - FE10 this semester will have16 smaller sections and the sections alternate weekly – 8 sections meet one week, the other 8 sections meet the following week, etc.  The idea is to break the FE10 class into 8 sections of (mostly) student who placed into the remedial algebra courses and 8 sections of those who placed into higher math.  We hope to incorporate programming and content to assist these two groups but to especially assist those in the lower level math to get connected, get a good start, and use the Math LEAD and tutoring to their utmost.

Learning Enhancement Across Disciplines (LEAD)• LEAD learning assistance (http://lead.mst.edu/assist) began during the second

week of classes.• LEAD provides peer tutoring in 28 courses, from College Algebra to Thermal

Analysis.• Currently, 51 faculty in 13 degree programs run a record-matching 40

collaborative LEAD guided-learning centers for their courses from Financial Accounting and Structural Geology to Heat Transfer and graduate Classical Mechanics.

• To support this effort, LEAD employs and provides pre-professional training to 36 accomplished undergraduate peer learning assistants.
