MESA: Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement

 

 

 

Welcome!

The UA Libraries supports instructors in helping their students with scholarly research. This guide offers resources to aid in their success, and instructors can refer students to these materials or request additional support. Group training sessions via Zoom and one-on-one or small-group meetings are also available. Tutorials on specific topics can be created upon request.

Suggestions for additional content to benefit MESA colleagues are welcome. For questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

MESA's approach is based on four pillars:

  1. Active Learning
  2. Exposure to STEM
  3. College Readiness
  4. Peer Support

UA Libraries supports MESA's third pillar of "College Readiness" by helping students practice effective and responsible research.
