. • mind mapping • gathering information, building a prototype, and documenting • The 3-6-5 brainstorming, and the engineers Log. • 3-6-5 • This project really gave me an example of creative problem solving. It was very refreshing, • Making a survey so that we could figure out what the consumer needs the most. Once you know whats most important you can focus all of energy in that direction. • mind mappind and the 3-6-5 • the planing, and the testing phase • Documentation- it made it much easier to recall what ideas had been discussed, who was responsible for what, etc. Testing- this can be very inconvenient and time-consuming

often first discuss careers in general. As would beexpected, few in the lower level mathematics courses were interested in engineering, whilealmost all of the students in Calculus III intended to be engineers, while a few of these studentswere pursuing physics or mathematics. An effective message for many of the students in the lowlevel mathematics classes is to discuss careers. The students are asked about their career choiceand why they chose it. To open their minds to other possibilities, suggestions are made thatperhaps instead of a physical therapist, they might want to be an engineer involved in biomedicalengineering or environmental issues. Instead of being a pharmacist, perhaps the student shouldconsider Chemical Engineering and be able

Outreach Club  Bridging Hispanics Minds for SuccessNSF Scholars Mentoring ProgramAs a major component of the Cañada College’s NSF S-STEM program student supportinfrastructure, a mentoring program has been developed and implemented. For the current groupof 42 scholars, eight Science and Technology Division faculty members have been selected asmentors. Faculty mentors were selected from the following academic areas: Biological Sciences(3), Chemistry (1), Engineering (2), Engineering and Computer Science (1), and Math (1).Students and mentors are paired based on academic disciplines. The scholars and their mentorsmeet as a group through a mentoring lunch at least once every semester. At the fall mentoringkick-off luncheon, new scholars are
