Thiscreated a significant disruption since the other instructor as asked to teach an overload and therewere many student complaints. The Department decided something had to be done to reduceproblems with increased number of sections and variability between instructors.The Solution:The Department introduced a half-day training for all part-time instructors. The training wasmandatary for all part-time and was focused on the known challenges facing part-time instructors.The format of the training was conversational, with the Chair and Assistant Chair sharing best-practices and common problems.

Mentorship offers the additional value ofspecific advice tailored to an individual’s current situation and psychosocial support.

Often, the system stretches beyond designers’ capabilityto grasp all of the details simultaneously [1] .One strategy for coping with the many variables is:to bring the system back within the limits of human mental capacity by focusing selectively on alimited number of factors, preferably the most significant ones. Designers are usually good atestimation. They are able to size up parameters, sort them out in terms of their relativeimportance, and neglect the ones that have less impact on the project.

Whilethe freshmen may demonstrate an interest in the minor and may be targeted for future marketingefforts, they are not eligible to begin the MC minor. Likewise, the seniors are too close tograduation to begin the minor. Therefore, only the second and third year students (sophomoresand juniors) are candidates for the program. As stated previously, the best time for a student toenroll in the MC minor is sophomore year. Of the current junior class (graduating in year 2020),there are 60 engineering students who have a GPA above 2.5, making them eligible to enroll inan academic minor. Of those 60, 22 have
