CCC has two dedicated STEM study spaces. The Dye Learning Center is the home to our free tutoring services, including the Math Lab and the Writing Center. STEM students can be found forming study groups in the Math Lab, taking advantage of the welcoming space, the whiteboards, the knowledgeable tutors, and the availability of textbooks. The computers in this area are loaded with a variety of software that is needed in the STEM courses. Computer science majors can compile their code, engineers can experiment with Arduino boards, and other powerful tools like Matlab are available.
Once students understand the math and/or science content of an assignment, they can make an appointment with the Writing Center to work on properly formatting and organizing their lab reports. The Writing Center can also help perfect a student's scholarship essays and make the most of cover letters for college/internship applications. Whenever possible, the Writing tutors and STEM tutors will team together so students get the most thorough help available.
The second STEM study space is called the STEM Center and is located in Pauling 165. The space is full of whiteboards and group study spaces, along with snacks, a refrigerator, and a microwave. Many instructors hold their student hours in the space as well.
