title = "WIP: Eagle ExCEL-Engineers Connect, Engage, and Learn: An At-Risk Advising Program",
abstract = "Eagle ExCEL is a new at-risk advising program for College of Engineering (CoE) undergraduate students at Tennessee Technological University implemented by professional academic advisors in the CoE Student Success Center. Advisors meet with academically at-risk students to set goals and identify resources. The program was created in fall 2021 to assist the over 10% of CoE students identified as at-risk (on warning, probation, or return from suspension). This work in progress (WIP) paper describes the program and reports on an evaluation of the first year of the program. Program directors have determined that it has had success in helping students return to good standing, with recommendations for academic support services geared towards undergraduate engineering majors.",
