There are a multitude of programs and organizations designed to increase the success ofminority students at engineering colleges across the US, such as the Society of WomenEngineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and National Society of Black Engineers.Summer bridge camps and similar programs that help increase students’ academic preparation inmathematics have also been beneficial for underrepresented students (1, 2).

In this paper, we describe a cross-college model of an ASEE chapter that includes an interdisciplinary network of faculty, staff,and students across colleges of engineering and education in a large Research I institution. Thechapter consists of five working groups: (1) K-12 engineering education, (2) undergraduateengineering education, (3) graduate engineering education, and (4) diversity and inclusion inengineering, and (5) research and dissemination.

The increased popularity in developingautonomous and intelligent vehicle technology has generated a need for thousands of jobs in theindustry. However, the growing popularity of intelligent vehicles is outpacing the availability ofengineers with enough experience to fill the positions.

This was considered opportune timing because students did not have classand had fewer time constraints, as they were transitioning from lesser to greater researchresponsibilities. Students were required to register for the event ahead of time using an onlineform, which also allowed us to determine beforehand how many students to expect. Theobjectives of this event were to 1) increase graduate students’ proficiencies in research- andcareer-related soft skills; 2) connect students with available campus resources; and 3) increasenetworking and communication between the engineering

Withthe long-standing stigma that predominantly men succeed and compose these fields, the sense ofbelonging for females and minorities in these fields is minimal, and entrance is unattractive [3, 4,1]. The idea of “belonging” is the sense of fit or acceptance that people experience in response tophysical objects, layout, and member representation that make up an environment [4].

Given the nature of senior designcourses, they offer an opportunity for engineering programs to integrate the outcomes of ABETcriteria [1]. In contrast to much of the undergraduate curriculum, the problems that students workon in senior design tend to be more ambiguous, require the consideration of multiple tradeoffs,and have no ‘right’ answer. As such, engineering design problems require individuals to makedecisions about what counts as knowledge by assessing various sources of information,balancing constraints, and evaluating alternative solutions. These acts can be grouped together asepistemic cognitive processes and require individuals to reason “about specific

However, the broad review scope and search terms used makes this work hard to betransferable for a specific discipline [2].These findings demonstrate that an ideal study of graduate student mental health would bedesigned to focus specifically on a graduate population within a specific discipline.

One of the principles for good practice in undergraduate education is for instructors toencourage active learning.1 Active learning at its core is engaging students into activeparticipation (e.g., discussing, questioning, sharing, doing) rather than passive participation (e.g.,listening).2 Lectures traditionally promote only passive participation and suffer because attentionspans are finite.3 The instructor can, however, incorporate active learning activities into thelecture though few instructors within engineering choose to do so.

resources, such as the mentee/mentor ratio, total yearsof the undergraduate program and the local culture are some of the factors that govern the effectivenessof mentoring.Key words: role model, peer mentoring, academic counseling, sponsor, international students.IntroductionThe dictionary definition of the word ‘mentor’ is “an experienced and prudent advisor”, stemming fromthe Greek name Mentor, the advisor of the king Telemachus [1]. Mentoring differs from academiccounselling in many ways. Both the mentor and the mentee need to know each other at a personal level,and thus a stronger bond develops between the two, maintaining a lasting relationship often throughouttheir lifetime. In the ancient epics of India, Krishna became the powerful mentor of
