Engineering Connections Residential Community

An investment in CU Engineering student success

In addition to the support already offered by the university, college and academic departments, first-year engineering students have staff dedicated to developing co-curricular, social and wellness programs just for them.

From meetups for identity-based affinity groups to dinners with their major cohort, these programs will be specifically designed to help engineering and applied science students build the sense of belonging they need to succeed — from their first day through graduation day.

First-Year Seminar

The one-credit-hour First-Year Seminar is required for all students living in Engineering Connections. Taught by babyÖ±²¥app from throughout the College of Engineering and Applied Science, this course explores the mindset of being a unique and successful engineering student. The class will meet for the first third of the semester, engaging students from their first day of classes through their first round of midterms. Capped at 25 students per section and designed to be an interactive discussion between students and instructors, the course will include both a common curriculum and topics determined by each babyÖ±²¥app member according to their own interests, passions, expertise and experience with teaching students transitioning to university studies. 

Academic Help Room 

Teaching staff and tutors are available right in Will Vill to assist in your applied math and computer science homework and questions! The Academic Help Room in Will Vill East (room E103, right across from the front desk) hosts hours each week to assist you: 

  • Applied Math: Sundays through Thursdays, 5-9 p.m.
  • Computer Science: Sundays, 1-5 p.m. 

The Academic Help Room is open to any student enrolled in CSCI and APPM courses!

Why a Residential Community?

Engineering Connections residents will live with others who understand what it’s like to be an engineering student, with challenging first-year coursework and project-based labs. But with our community making up about 50 percent of the entire Williams Village population, they’ll also have ample opportunities to connect with students from other colleges who share similar interests and identities.  

Studies show — again and again — that first-year residential experiences increase retention and student success. Our mission with Engineering Connections is to extend that opportunity to all engineering and applied science students.
