Students reported spending themost time preparing for class in their first year compared to students in later years.Female students (104 responses) reported higher levels of community involvement, engineeringidentity, and engagement in college life compared to male students (142 responses) while therewas little gender-related difference in self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Levels of self-efficacy and team self-efficacy did not show large differences based on year in college.Interestingly, first-year students expressed the highest levels

In computers, chatbots or ECAs may present as avatars that havehuman-like appearances and mannerisms, and are designed to have a human-like relationshipwith the user. The challenge and goal of using ECAs is how to effectively deliver mentoring thatprovides skill building, academic and career development, and psychosocial support. This paperexplores the feasibility for the use of e-mentoring mechanisms such as ECAs as a contemporarymeans of mentoring that may support African American students. This work begins to introducethe need for cultural sensitivity and intelligence in e-mentoring. In this work, we provide a briefoverview of e-mentoring and its relationship to
