Freshman Engineering (FE)
All new freshmen (FS2013) take a 30-question spatial skills test online
prior to their PRO day. Students who score below 60% will be placed in
special FE10 sections and their FE10 experience will include some
spatial skills training modules . The spatial skills test is supported by a
NSF initiative coupled with the national ENGAGE program.
Learning Enhancement Across Disciplines (LEAD)
• LEAD learning assistance (http://lead.mst.edu/assist) has achieved
three new records in Spring 2013 beyond those reported before.
• The record number of student-centered learning centers was set

classroom hours. Although 60 LEAD faculty does not beat the
record of 64 set in Fall 2012, it is a record for a spring semester.
