Eachproject has a graduate student mentor with only the most experienced students supervising morethan one project. The graduate students meet with their undergraduate team(s) a couple of timesa week (ideally) and are available for consultation at other times. These graduate students arevolunteers who are involved in some aspect of project engineering in their own research. Theyare chosen largely on their understanding that, to receive the benefit of undergraduates workingon their project, they will be required to invest much more time at the beginning than simplyundertaking the specific tasks themselves. Such mentoring abilities require considerablecoaching

A person working as a CE Technician works under the direct control and personal supervision of a CE Professional or direction of a CE Technologist. A person initially obtains status as a CE Technician through the completion of requisite formal education, experience, examination(s), and/or other requirements as specified by an appropriate credentialing body.
