This past fall, the DAC established a weekly tutoring program for MCEE students needing assistance in upper level petroleum engineering and geology courses. Students have access to qualified instructors six hours a week in each of these areas. The DAC, which is made up of members from the various student organizations within the MCEE, meets monthly with the Dean to advise him on student matters.
