project, student successSection I: IntroductionThe “Scholars of Excellence in Engineering and Computer Sciences” (SEECS) program wasestablished in 2008 at Gannon University, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)Scholarships in Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program [1].Since then, the grant has been funded twice more; the current award period started in 2017 andwill run until 2021. The goals of the program, the structure, and its assessment have beenpublished in several conferences [2] - [4]. One of the highlights of the program is that allstudents must participate in a community-based design project, undertaken for a non-profit entityin the local region.

toseveral potential explanations for why individuals decide to mentor, including self-enhancement[5], [6] or the fulfillment of personal values [7], [8] such as altruism [9]. Self-efficacy andconfidence also have been related to whether mentors persisted in their relationships [10].Furthermore, mentoring also has been described as having improved mentors' personal (e.g.,organization) and leadership skills [11]. However, this research is limited and often specific toparticular mentoring programs.We know relatively little about why people decide to mentor in the context of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning specifically.
