The design of a self-contained collection of wood-working equipmentwas discussed as a possibility of a student-team design competition, but has not been pursuedyet.Within the Engineering Department, a degree in Advanced Manufacturing is offered,specializing in manufacturing technologies and techniques. A team of three seniors, twoAdvanced Manufacturing students and one Industrial Engineering student, took for theircapstone project the design of a work cell that could easily and economically produce theassemblies for these houses. The team observed the construction site several times throughoutthe semester in order to identify the sizes of the parts

A very large number ofEA alumni described career goals in green technology, water conservation, and transportationmanagement. Now that the program has just completed its sixth year and the past delegateshave transferred to universities and are practicing engineers, the next steps would be to survey allsix cohorts.ConclusionThe Cabrillo College Engineering Abroad Program is now in its sixth year and one of the fewengineering abroad programs in the country that serves community college students.

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. While many diverse types ofmentorship programs exist to encourage students in underrepresented groups to
