Additional Courses for Engineers (ACE)

Additional Courses for Engineers (ACE) is designed to provide a solid foundation in mathematics, computational math in engineering, and computer science to undergraduate students interested in pursuing an engineering degree. The mission of ACE is to provide our students, particularly those from under-resourced backgrounds, with the opportunities and support to succeed in their course and in their major. ACE sections, instruction, and the ACE Course Assistants (CA’s) are intentional about fostering environments based on purposeful engagement and inclusive teaching practices. Students selected to participate in ACE are those whose application demonstrates the most significant need or have not had access to institutional resources, exposure, or instruction related to Calculus and/or Computer Science.

Enrolling in ACE Courses

Undergraduate students participating in ACE are required to attend an additional weekly section and must enroll in their selected course for 1 additional unit. ACE participants also receive access to additional exam review sessions, individual tutoring, and other study resources. We accept applications from all students who believe they may benefit from participating in small active-learning sessions led by highly trained graduate students.
