tothings like the electrical grid, transportation systems, and other large scale human enterprises [1].A Potential ProblemFor some time now, many of the world’s leading technology companies have been touting thisnew technology paradigm with ads about the “smarter planet” or similar terms that describe theemerging ecosystem embodied by IoT applications. These companies have become convinced thatthis newest application of the Internet will be the driving force behind their success for theforeseeable future.

thatengineering work helps others.IntroductionEngineering has the potential to help improve the quality of life for people living in underservedand marginalized communities. Increasing the diversity of engineers may increase the extent towhich the engineering profession is committed to fostering positive societal impacts. Forexample, the communal and helping goals of female science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) students has been found to be stronger than male students [1, 2]. There arealso limited data showing that students from racial/ethnic groups under-represented inengineering are motivated by helping others through their work to a greater extent than Whitestudents [2, 3]. However, race/ethnicity and culture are complex ideas that

The goal of the program is to recruit andprepare high school students for an engineering program. A pillar of the program is formalmentorship that helps students realize their potential as engineers. The program was movedonline in 2020 to address limitations imposed by physical distancing mandates and reach morestudents outside of the city.Literature ReviewYouth MentoringYouth mentoring practices have been steadily increasing as more evidence emerges about thepositive effects mentoring can have, such as improved academic achievement

-12students have less exposure to electrical engineering (EE) than to many other STEM subjects.Within EE, the focus is often on introducing students to robotics or electronics, such as electricalcircuits, microprocessor programming and system integration (e.g., [1] - [3]). However, EE spansa much broader spectrum. The topics of communications and networking are often not presentedto high school students at all, and students are unaware of the fascinating challenges connectedwith careers in this direction.The current pandemic, entailing remote education, offers a unique opportunity to teachcommunications and networking. Remote delivery platforms such as Zoom can be leveraged toillustrate communications and networking concepts in new interactive ways

Howeverfundamental it may be to engineering students, SHM is one of the more demanding topics andoften misunderstood. Researchers found that passive instruction by talented teachers imparted littleconceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics [1]. Good physical insight can lead to a deeperunderstanding of displacement and oscillation, which is a pervasive phenomenon in STEM.

With the development of modern technology,universities are changing from face-to-face education to remote web-based learning. However, itis a challenge to bring hands-on labs online due to the complexity of the labs, which includevarious equipment, materials, and resources.

Subsequent student surveys toward the end of April indicated that while the students had a great appreciation of the efforts undertaken by faculty in ensuring semi-uninterrupted learning, the studentsindicated that they missed interactions.
