We identified active andearly engagement of female and underrepresented minority prospective students in an on-campusevent as a way to interest them in our graduate programs. During the one- to two-day eventstudents have the opportunity to engage with faculty, staff and students in their program(s) ofinterest, prepare for the application process and learn about funding and faculty research

,instructional videos, and mentorship are critical to the success of open-ended projects.The next major focus of the first-year engineering program is develop a mentorship program tosupport course projects. When students propose their own ideas, it helps to have a mechanismthat finds experts to support their project. Teaching assistants with experience in the proposedareas are a valuable resource to guide students from their conceptual design to productdevelopment. Further research is needed to understand and improve the role of the mentors foreach RAD project.References [1] Walsh, D., (2004) A Freshman Design Experience Using Rapid Prototyping.
