Peer Lead Team Learning-PLTL began as a retention initiative of the Engineering and Technology Student Council (ETSC) in the spring of 2016 as a way to help students in courses with high drop, fail, withdraw (DFW) percentage. Since its beginning in the spring of 2016, the PLTL format has achieved great results and feedback from engineering students and professors. The support in the PLTL sections have a strong impact on whether a student continues in engineering and completes their degree.
