The need for increasing the number of STEM graduates [2, 3, 4, 5, 6,Preprint submitted to ASEE April 24, 20207] has resulted in various programs to attract and retain students in STEM fields. Bressoud, Mesaand Rasmussen [8] identified several characteristics of successful calculus programs

The number of graduate and undergraduate students working in our lab hasfluctuated somewhat, with students joining and leaving the project according to their academic andpersonal needs. However, three of the graduate students from Fall 2018 persisted with the projectsfor three semesters (through the end of Fall 2019) until their graduation. While we anticipated thatthe graduate students would be able to mentor the undergraduates, we found that some graduatestudents did not have the requisite knowledge to provide leadership roles. In reality, the studentsappeared to function more-or-less as equals, with research experience and skill typically beingmore important

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) recently reaffirmed its commitment todiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to support engineering students and faculty from allbackgrounds. The statement powerfully stated that diverse backgrounds and experiences shouldbe seen as a source of strength and growth rather than something that separates us. However, DEIis not seen as simply a matter of recruiting more students from underrepresented groups; in orderto promote DEI, systemic barriers must be eliminated [2]. One of these barriers is the way thatengineering programs grade students. Programs no longer need to “weed out” students; rather,they need to support as many students as possible to develop the large number of engineers thatour society

The relationship between the mentor and menteeis said to be successful because the participants are close in their matriculation. Thiscloseness helps the mentor communicate and the mentee views the mentor as more relatable.The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
