abstract = "Instituted in 1971, the Counselor-Tutorial (CT) program is an optional class offered by the Department of Freshman Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette campus, to beginning students whose high school academic backgrounds indicate high learning potential, but who also have
the highest probability of having difficulty in completing the freshman engineering curriculum. The goal of the CT program is to provide these academically disadvantaged students with enough counseling and tutorial assistance to allow them to compete in their high-risk first-year courses of
calculus, chemistry, and physics. Data for the history of the program demonstrate that the CT program does provide assistance for these students, so the successful first-year CT student can perform near the same level as better prepared students.",
