The program unites students across all years of the undergraduate program and5th year masters' students in groups mentored by professional engineers practicing in industry.The program was implemented within the curriculum of a required zero-credit hour seminarcourse and has expanded to include activities outside of class time. Prior retention theory andinterventions were considered to develop a robust assessment method with the goal of evaluatingthe impact of the mentoring program on student retention and connectedness in the classroom.Impact on retention was examined through term-to-term mentor group

Some engineering facultymembers have successfully conducted this integration, whether for a thermodynamics [23] orcontrols [13, 24] course. It is incredibly challenging to attempt this integration within an entireengineering program [25].We propose an alternative integration. Rather than adding social justice directly into ourengineering courses, we rely on a social justice core curriculum to provide a thorough socialjustice foundation. Through this core curriculum, students learn how to critically analyze socialconditions. We then administer social justice case study
