From the literatures on environmental models oflearning and organizational knowledge transfer, we focus on the contextual factors that shape theway that knowledge can be shared across organizational boundaries through institutionalmentoring. We define institutional mentoring as a type of peer mentoring between teams atdifferent institutions working towards similar goals in which knowledge exchange is

Also, Deci 10 proposes that learners’ interests motivate them toparticipate in learning activities. According to Atkinson and Wickens 11 this motivation toengage in learning is a function of learners selecting activities that pique their interests, and alsopersisting and making efforts to accomplish goals they find interesting. Further, activities thatcater to students’ interests have also been claimed to be related with self-efficacy, educationalchoices, and career outcomes 12–14.

The structure of the chapter and itsevents center around that chosen area [2], [3]. For example, the ASEE student chapter at theOhio State University, due to member interest, shifted its focus from graduate and undergraduatesupport to K-12 outreach. Based on this shift, the chapter’s structure changed by expandingseveral officers’ roles to be more outreach focused and forming new committees to stabilize thework [3].

As a new engineering school at a new University, thefirst offerings of this course were also designed to encourage students to consider engineering asa preferred career choice.
