Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast three groups of engineering students at Colorado State University on academic achievement, and specific items of satisfaction and awareness to determine if measurable differences do exist. The three groups consisted of those engineering students living in the engineering residential academic unit, in other residence halls, and off campus. The sample for this study consisted of 397 engineering students. The engineering questionnaire was administered to the sample while 1975 grade point averages were obtained. The hypotheses under consideration were tested by use of the F test. Findings indicated that there were statistically significant differences for the two groups of freshmen and the three groups of non-freshmen on certain items of satisfaction and awareness. It was concluded from the data that residential academic units have a positive impact on students.
