This is in opposition to what this algorithm does, which is clustered by similarities. Therefore, mentors are manually paired for the SampleMentorData.csv file to ensure that there is a balance of these categories in mentoring circles. Best practices include: a. Pairing mentors based on categories such as gender, citizenship status and major. For an optimized mentoring experience, it is important to make sure that there is representation spread out across circles.

currentcurriculum supports leadership development, and in which ways it can be improved to createengineering graduates with strong leadership identities.RecommendationsThe findings of this work show that without explicit leadership instruction or support throughoutthe course, the students had various conceptions of leadership which had a significant impact onteam dynamics. This leads to several recommendations for engineering educators, as follows. 1. The first-year design course holds promise for leadership development, however this development should be scaffolded through instruction and support for students throughout their design team process. 2. Students should be supported in discussing with their team what leadership means to
