An early study by Good [14] indicated that freshmenneeded networking with upperclassmen to ease the transition from high school to university.Clark et al. [15] attributed peer relationships as a key factor in the success of student satisfaction,integration and retention in higher education. Peer mentoring can build a community of supportfor the mentee (i.e., freshmen) while enhancing the teamwork, instruction and communicationskills of the mentor (i.e., senior) [10]. When mentoring is from someone that is close in age andposition, it can also provide encouragement and social support [11].

Among the multiple ways used to cultivatecreativity, arts integration might be one of the most underappreciated ways.Based on the conclusions of this paper, we suggest that we should attach importanceto arts education. Some reports at both the K-12 [21] and professional levels [22] haveshown that integrating arts and science/engineering could have unexpected effects.Some colleges such as Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology have even steppedfurther to explore a new combination of arts and engineering, in which the course wasprovided from an art perspective with examples of engineering pulled in to reinforcetopics in art, rather than creating an engineering course with examples of art pulled in.This course engaged students in the
