The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center indicates that fall 2020undergraduate enrollment was down 2.5% over a year ago, with most students taking coursesremotely [2]. A recent survey of undergraduates found that they reported struggling withmotivation and missed receiving instructor feedback and collaborating with other students, whichcan be challenging in a virtual space [3].In the U.S. workforce, women held more jobs than men a year ago [4]. Since the pandemic hit inMarch 2020, women have suffered higher job losses than for men, and much of this loss has beenexperienced by Black women and

IntroductionMentoring has long been shown to be a process that can assist minoritized students in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields (e.g., persons who identify as AfricanAmerican/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Native) [1, 2]. Yet today, a newform of mentoring, e-mentoring, has emerged as a viable mechanism with the ability to engagementors and mentees differently than traditional mentoring. Mentoring has been shown to beessential in supporting and empowering people during criticall personal and careerdevelopmental stages [3].

It is welldocumented that the practice of engineering requires heterogeneous interactions involving bothpeople and things - humans and technologies - yet often the focus of schooling remains on theinanimate equipment rather than the messy people [1]–[3]. Moreover, engineering courses whichinclude a focus on human interactions like communication and teamwork are undercut by theinaccurate and demeaning labeling of these as “soft” rather than “hard” skills to learn.This false divide between hard and soft, between the technical and social, is increasinglyoutdated and ineffective in preparing engineers to understand and address the
