found that graduate students had enrolled as they learnedabout their assignment as a go-between for their faculty mentors and undergraduate studentsparticipating in summer research programs. Essentially, they saw the workshop as just-in-timetraining that assisted them in developing the confidence to answer questions and providefeedback to their junior peers. Because of this perceived need, we reviewed resources availablethrough the Center for the Improvement of Mentoring Experience (CIMER), to better align ourworkshop to the needs of participating graduate students. The two main ideas that emerged fromthis exercise were the case study and the phases of mentoring.Social wealth of mentors and protégés. It was clear from each workshop that

participate among a group predominantlycomposed of black women.A second anecdote from the 2022 pilot involves students’ perception of environmental justicecareer paths. One student remarked that as a result of the internship, they might no longerconsider environmental science as a possible career path. They thought that the data collection,data management, and data analysis experiences indicated that the career path might not besomething they were interested in. On the one hand, this could be an artifact of the way theinternship was programmed. For some students with little or no experience with programming,statistics, or field work, the program may not have been designed with enough support. This mayhave affected this particular intern’s confidence

University. Abimelec received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) in 2016. After working in the aerospace industry, he returned to the UPRM for his MS in Mechanical Engineering in 2017, where he pursued ways to tailor ideation methods to interdisciplinary teams as part of his thesis work, and had the opportunity to teach undergraduate ME courses. His previous efforts and experiences in engineering education helped shape his overall goal of fostering human-centered education systems, which led him to pursue his PhD at ASU.Dr. Mayra S Artiles, Arizona State University Mayra S.
