Many ofthe students on the team that designed the ETHOS program had participated in internationalservice through UD’s Center for Social Concern. Although these experiences were veryrewarding, the service projects the students participated in did not directly make use of theirengineering skills. Furthermore, while participating in these service projects, the studentsidentified many needs that could be addressed through engineering solutions. The students spenttwo semesters researching and designing the program, making initial contacts with potentialplacement partners and assessing the feasibility of the program from a university

For example, through our existing and well-institutionalizedsummer bridge programs we have developed condensed courses in Calculus, Biology, Physics,Organic Chemistry, and technical English for incoming freshman and community collegestudents who hope to major in mathematics and science-related fields. These courses focus onkey material in gate-keeping courses which are required early in their college careers. Throughdocumentation in final project reports, course syllabi, texts, problem sets, and other forms thesematerials are catalogued and now will be made available to interested faculty through the Internetor by

At the institutional level it is understoodas a mechanism that contributes to reducing attrition rates and enhancing recruitment plans butthere is a scarcity of empirical research related to PhD programs to understand this phenomenon.Contemporarily, Di Pierro [15] conceptualized doctoral mentoring as part of an institution’spragmatic retention plan to counter economic losses, potential loss in Carnegie classification, andvoids in research. Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations. For individual students mentoring often times is described as akey
