Upcoming Events and Tips
Practice Exams and Post Exam Evaluation Sessions
Practice exams and Post Exam Evaluation Sessions let engineering students simulate real test conditions by actively retrieving and applying knowledge—this “testing effect” enhances long-term retention and deep understanding better than passive review. They also pinpoint knowledge gaps, sharpen pacing and time‑management skills under pressure, and build familiarity with exam formats—helping to ease anxiety and foster confidence on test day.

ACADEMIC COACHING
CEAS offers free, individualized Professional and Peer Academic Coaching-both in-person and online-where academic coaches build trusting relationships to help students enhance self-awareness, develop academic skills and habits, and create action plans that boost performance in a collaborative and ongoing process.
It is nice to know I have someone I can ask for help. They helped me get in touch with groups that study and other events to help with academic support.
