Students will meet in very small groups with a faculty member designated as their tutor. Performance in problem assignments and conceptual difficulties with other courses will be discussed, along with interrelation of present coursework, later work and engineering practice. The student will be responsible to his tutor for undertaking of certain assignments.
1 hour per week, both terms. (Consultation periods with teaching assistants regarding specific course problems as and if required at the initiative of the student or his tutor, will be available).
