Additionally, we host events on campus and give tours, including the annual Engineering Day for high school students.As a tutor for the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering from Aug 2021-present, I work with civil students at our tutoring center. We offer help with Statics, Strengths of Materials, Structural Analysis, Geotechnical Engineering, and our Introduction to Civil class.As a Mentor Learning Assistant from Aug 2021-May 2022, I helped run the activities in the SCI 5050 Science of Learning class. This is the class that our undergraduate Learning Assistants take during their first semester of employment. Learning Assistants help large-enrollment classes in the College of Science as mentors and learning aides who hold office hours but do not participate in grading as a Teaching Assistant would.
