Aone-on-one coach is a peer graduate student who provides academic, professional, and personalmentorship to undergraduate students. Project mentors offer similar guidance in the context ofvertically integrated research teams, guiding students through practical aspects of conductingengineering projects. Much of the research on the topic of graduate student mentors focuses onthe role of generic mentoring, coaching techniques, or ethical considerations.

In these lectures, students learn how to design custom parts in acomputer-aided design (CAD) suite. As with web design, the goal is not to make the studentsexperts in CAD, but rather to give them the skills to create functional prototypes for novelsituations. After these lectures, students can tackle Task 7 (Section 2.1.7).For the rest of the lectures, there are various topics. One lecture is used to demonstrate how toefficiently debug embedded systems with surface mount components. Another lecture is used todiscuss ethics in embedded systems [14, 15, 16, 17].
