The EOE Tutoring Program provides academic support to undergraduate students in the Cockrell School through free, one-on-one tutoring sessions for basic sequence and upper-division engineering courses. Engineering students are eligible for two hours of free tutoring per week. EOE tutors are upper-division and graduate students who received a grade of B or better in the tutored course. Before requesting help from the EOE Tutoring Program, students must seek assistance from Cockrell School and campus-wide resources:
