Fellows Program

If you are stuck on stacks, irate about interrupts, raging against recursion... or if you just want to gain that extra edge to become an assembly ninja, then you should come and talk to your friendly neighborhood Engineering Fellow!

The CU Engineering Fellows program is a celebration of excellence and high standards: a good choice for up-and-coming engineering students. Their engaging display of intellectual dexterity emphasizes the importance of practice, effort and teamwork. They are dedicated to providing peer academic support including tutorials, study sessions, mentoring, and advice on school and life.
