Many engineering courses have well defined content and donot greatly vary from university to university. For example, many required, discipline-specific,junior-level civil engineering courses focus on the content covered in that discipline on theFundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.

they encounter. Once these processesare articulated, engineers must proceed to engaging in creating the potential solutions for of theproblems that they encounter. Through this, engineers generate potential solutions to theproblem, select an optimal solution, and design and engage in a step-by step-plan(s) andassociated analysis using engineering disciplinary skills. They verify results, evaluate, and adjustthe solutions they work on accordingly, until they reach an optimal solution for their identifiedproblems.10 This is an important process for practicing engineers, however, rarely are first yearengineering students exposed to and able to practice this process.

Given the diverse socio-demographicbackground of the students in the mentoring program, their perceptions of how culturalbackground influences their relationship with their faculty and peer mentors will be addressed aswell (see Section 3 in Table 1). Lastly, students will be asked to provide an overall assessment oftheir mentoring experiences with both their peer and faculty mentors (see Section 4 in Table 1).As indicated in Table 1 (see Column 1: Item Focus), the majority of measures will be used toassess both faculty and peer mentoring experiences with the exception of a few measures thataim to assess aspects specific to the faculty or peer mentor relationship.Table 1.

arecollected at the due date of the assigned section(s).Students from five cohorts at a public research university generated the data presented here.Cohorts during the Spring semester of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 included 98, 98, 94, 66,and 57 students, respectively. Students withdrawing from the course were not included in theanalysis, which differs from some previous work [25]. The majority of the students were in theirfirst year (freshman) majoring in either chemical engineering or environmental engineering. Thedata are presented in aggregate for one or more cohorts, which may be a limitation as thediversity of the individual learner is lost. The modality of the 2018, 2019, and 2022 cohorts wasin person.

For the remainder of the time, theUGTAs were asked to reflect and discuss several prompts, including: 4. In reviewing the principles of inclusive leadership, which principle would I identify as a strength and where I feel the most comfortable? 4 5. Are there specific times where I felt this was affirmed? 6. Which principle(s) would I identify as an area of growth? 7. What actions can I take to grow in this principle?The day following the workshops, all UGTAs reconvened to share
