With a young engineering program and the isolating effects of the COVID-19pandemic, students often were not well-connected to their peers. In our previous publication [1],semester-to-semester retention rates were reported. Our work builds upon and contributes to existing research on peer mentoring [2-4].

With COVID-19, postgraduate education was forced to move to remotelearning. Birk et al. 1 conducted a reasonable practice for online teaching of a robotics course atJacobs University Bremen. Although their lectures covered most of the robotics areas, they usedpre-recorded videos to teach and did not hold labs to demonstrate the operations on real robots.The sudden pivot created a paradigm shift for robotics courses traditionally taught in-personwhere students had the opportunity to experience interaction
