Center for Academic Support for Engineering (CASE) Instructional Laboratory Now Open

By COE Press Release
Fall 2012

The Center for Academic Support for Engineering (CASE), managed under the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs & Curriculum, is now operating a new laboratory offering supplemental instruction and tutoring services, which is staffed full-time (at least 10 am - 6 pm most weekdays) in room B-221 at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. In this facility, we provide individual and small-group walk-in tutoring services for introductory courses in the Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, and Industrial engineering areas, as well as for basic math and science prerequisites. Every week, the CASE lab also holds supplemental instruction help sessions to walk students through a review of challenging concepts in selected introductory courses (EEL3003 Introduction to Electrical Engineering, EML3100 Thermodynamics, EGM3512 Engineering Mechanics, and EGN3613 Principles of Engineering Economy). Educational technologies such as a SMARTboard are utilized to help make the instructional experience more interactive and engaging for the students. The lab is also in the process of setting up workstations which will soon allow students to remotely access additional tutoring services and to remotely attend supplemental instruction sessions being conducted at other facilities scattered across both universities. Currently the lab is open Mon. 10-8, Tue. 10-6, Wed. 11-6, Thu. 8-6 and Fri. 9-4. For additional information, please visit the lab in room B221, call (850) 410-6177 or 410-6423 during operating hours, or email the lab coordinator, Dr. Michael Frank (studentsupport@eng.fsu.edu).
