Mentoring supports transfer students by establishing trust, buildingrelationships, and developing interconnectedness with faculty and peers. APEX scholars receiveformal and informal mentoring from faculty, industry, peer mentors and each other.Several research questions are posed in this work, which guide data collection.

The transformation of fundamental research into completesystems, known as translation, is a priority to the advancement of nanotechnology according toNSF [7] and a key focus area of the Centers.

However, studies of team function over time show that – as expected – teameffectiveness may vary over the duration of a long project. While capstone design is far lessintense than long duration space missions (although students may claim otherwise), studies of theperformance over time of teams operating in extreme situations has shown that crews’ abilities tothink divergently and make choices as a group decreased over time, while ethical decisionmaking and ability to execute tasks stayed relatively constant and increased, respectively
