Psychosocial functions include activities such as acceptance andconfirmation, friendship, and counseling. Role modeling is looking to the mentor as a source ofguidance in shaping the mentee’s behavior, values, and attitudes [29].Mentoring is a process, defined by the types of support provided by the mentor to the mentee.These relationships are also dynamic, changing over time, and increasing in impact.

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

Yet, with all of that theoretical and mathematical rigor of traditional education, thestudents lacked cross-domain learning experiences or understanding of the path that awaitedthem if they pursued a career in industry.After listening to much feedback from our alumni and industry partners

The increase in student willingness to pursue STEM as a career option has been one ofmany RET programs' primary goals. Post RET classroom activity feedback shows gains in studentawareness of STEM and engineering applications, directly resulting from teachers feeling empoweredand adequately equipped after attending RET programs. One such survey conducted by the E3 teacherresearch program gathered 2,000 student responses, which showed an increase in interest in pursuingan engineering degree in college after completing the teacher's program activities
