Students at four-year institutions generally live on or near campus, havemore free time and don’t usually have demanding work or family concerns, all of which makesscheduling SI sessions much easier. In addition, four-year schools often have extra classroomspace or other facilities where students can meet regularly. Therefore, a different model neededto be created if SI was to be successful at the two year campus.The idea of implementing SI was discussed with the college’s administration.

As a mentoryour role is to stimulate students or young professionals to think in new and creativeways. One of the biggest values a faculty member can bring to mentoring is a broadperspective, and how that perspective can be of value to students. From author’sexperiences, a key issue in “starting where you are” relates to our own preconceivednotions about students and their abilities to evolve into the field of engineering.
