Initiative Pilot Program structure and curriculum. The pilot program focuses onthe development of qualitative and quantitative methods of assessment. In addition, it aims to provide some limited evidence that theproposed methods are effective at improving students’ desire to be retained in the college of engineering until the completion of theirundergraduate level degrees. The pilot consists of two phases: the recruitment and training of potential mentors which was completedin the Fall of 2014 and the execution of a Robotics Summer Academy during the Summer of 2015. This paper outlines the programstructure for Bulls-EYE Mentoring and the logistics of the program’s curriculum. Potential mentors are selected and trained through partnerships
