As a student in anengineering education department, it is easy to become absorbed in a single view of the field; thepeer group assists in maintaining a broad view of engineering education research. Beyondbuilding connections, other valuable aspects of the program are accountability and peer review.Discussing research, teaching, service, and personal goals are often items that do not combine inother spaces. The peer-mentoring group has helped me set clear proximal goals as a developingprofessional.
