Engineering Peer Teachers

What is an EPT?

The Engineering Peer Teachers (EPTs) are a branch of the Washkewicz Peer Teachers (WPTs). We cover core Engineering (ESC, EEC, MET) and Computer Science (CIS) courses through Recitations and Sessions. Both are designed to give students additional time to ask questions, collaborate with others, and prepare for assessments in the course. As of Fall 2024, we currently cover:

• ESC 201: Statics
• ESC 211: Strength of Materials
• ESC 250: Differential Equations
• ESC 282: Engineering Economy
• ESC 310: Engineering Stats and Probability
• EEC 310: Electric Circuits 1
• CIS 151: Invitation to Computing
• CIS 260: Intro to Programming
• CIS 265: Data Structures and Algorithms
• MET 320: Mechanics of Materials

What is a Recitation?

A Recitation is a mandatory, once weekly class scheduled in CampusNet to accompany the main course. In Recitations, material is reinforced through interactive, engaging learning activities. EPT Recitation Assignments, or ERAs, are collaborative activities that will be administered randomly throughout the semester and will be scored. These scores make up 10% of the main course's grade.

What is a Session?

A Session is an optional, semi-weekly time where, similar to Recitations, material is reinforced through engaging activities. While these are not required nor scheduled through CampusNet, some professors may offer incentives for attendance. 

Leadership

  If you have questions about the EPT Program, such as:

• How do I apply to be an EPT?
• Will you cover _____ course?
• My class is struggling in (course), can the EPTs help?
