The course was delivered by three graduate students, with additional staff who managed theprogram logistics. A total of 30 students participated in this track. The primary expectation for thestudents was to present a Capstone project at the end of the course, demonstrating the applicationof AI techniques that they learned to a biomedical or healthcare dataset.

Because trusses are undersimple compressive or tensile loading, a student only needs to know the maximum rated loadsfor each member. In contrast, most other design of structures or machines requires the concept ofstress. Bridge Designer is a free program that enables these projects in educational settings [5],[6]. Student in statics have also used FEA for this purpose [7], [8], [9], [10], which shows thatstudents at that level are not limited to using educational software but instead are capable ofbeginning to use professional tools.

Aone-on-one coach is a peer graduate student who provides academic, professional, and personalmentorship to undergraduate students. Project mentors offer similar guidance in the context ofvertically integrated research teams, guiding students through practical aspects of conductingengineering projects. Much of the research on the topic of graduate student mentors focuses onthe role of generic mentoring, coaching techniques, or ethical considerations.

Efforts to enhance our undergraduate students’ sense of belonging to the major and profession have generally been considered worthwhile endeavors by most, if not all, faculty members in the school.
