The Title V - Educational Excellence Project (EEP) program has recently opened a new mathematics computer lab, giving TAMIU students additional academic resources to choose from when looking for mathematics support on campus.

The TEMA lab is located at TAMIU inside Billy Cowart Hall, room 112. We offer student tutorial services, technical support, application software, TI-Nspire calculators, College Algebra books, and all the necessary tools to complete various mathematics course assignments. The lab is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday Thru Friday to students who want to find a place to study in small groups, do mathematics homework where assistance is available, or work with a tutor in a quiet atmosphere.

The TEMA  tutors can assist students working on ALEKS, a web based learning system offered to all college algebra students . Additionally, the TAMIU mathematics faculty will provide immediate academic support to all MATH 1314 students by holding two office hours per week at the lab. Rick Bocanegra, TEMA lab coordinator, is also available to assist students with any technical issues they may encounter. The TEMA lab runs Windows XP, Microsoft office 2007, and is readily equipped with printing options for all TAMIU students.

About ALEKS

The Office of Title V - EEP established the TEMA Lab to provide students with the opportunity to improve their mathematics skills, as well as access to technology with the introduction of ALEKS, an online course management system where students do mathematics work in an interactive learning environment. Through a process of assessments and practice problems, ALEKS determines the weak mathematics skills of the students and then guides them through individualized learning paths to mastery of these skills.
