The survey was based upon prior interviews in which participants were asked to share thementoring and advocacy-networking paradigm activities planned in their mentoring matches.The survey was closed-ended with a mix of factual, categorical response options (Yes/No) andopinion, continuous response options (Likert-scales).

For instance, in this course, soft skills such as technical writing, use of Excel,developing an individual academic plan of study, cooperative education, internships, culturaldiversity, quality, safety, and ethics are covered. Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this

To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment.

Where do you observe the differences, if any, and why? 2- Explain what you observed in Part D.

First, students learn how math and physicsprinciples can be used to model complex systems, such as a surface transportation system.Second, students are introduced to the decision-making process and before-and-after studies inwhich quantitative measures are used to support a decision. Third, students learn how engineerscan potentially influence city planning and affect communities. In the first steps, students learn how math can be used to model driver behavior and todevelop car-following models. Then, students use traffic simulation software to model the flowon an urban corridor. The software considers
