conversations with mentees as a cohort after midterms of the first semester. • As with any multi-university, multi-state project, finding the best meeting platform and mutually workable meeting schedules has been difficult, with some things working better than others. Meeting together synchronously in hybrid format works best for most faculty. Alignment of schedules across universities is navigated by recording meetings, providing open hours, and creating online modules of pertinent information. Open shop hours by graduate students and/or faculty mentors need a regular, predictable schedule. • Industry cannot guarantee internship positions for students in specific programs.

Sociotechnical Issues in Electrical Engineering Starting with Circuits: Year 2This NSF-funded Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Improving Undergraduate STEMEducation (IUSE) project aims to integrate sociotechnical issues into Introduction to Circuits,typically the first course in electrical engineering (EE) for undergraduate students. To preparegraduates for the real-world problems, which are interdisciplinary and involve complex socialimpacts, instructors must help students address the sociotechnical nature of engineering.Accrediting organizations such as ABET stress the importance of sociotechnical issues andrequire undergraduate programs to consider global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors in
