The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations?

However, because ourcourse has a stable of experienced mentors, we can have several simultaneous critique sessionsfor a class of 42 students. In addition, for the critiquing sessions, we use a special classroom(shown in Figure 2) that has conference-style tables. Each table, which seats six students and amentor, has a large computer monitor on one end such that each manuscript can be projected toallow for targeted discussion of a passage.Preliminary Results: The approach of scaling technical writing by using undergraduatementors shows much promise, but faces significant challenges For this proof-of-concept paper
