as webinars, workshops, and peermentoring. While webinars and workshops have been promising avenues for GEECS outreachand recruitment of graduate students, these activities have been isolated events. These singleevents are a strong first step toward the GEECS’ mission; however, these endeavors needed to beextended into long-term activities. Peer mentoring was developed in an effort to provide astructured and flexible mechanism for graduate students to support one another throughout theyear. The initial thoughts about the program were to provide a space in which graduate studentscould support one another’s goal setting and monitoring, and engage in community buildingactivities. The purpose of the goal setting and monitoring aspect was to hold

Chloe’s encounter was one of pure chance, as she described it, and set her on anentirely different path, as up to that point she had considered a career in teaching. This poses thequestion of how opportunities for authentic engagement can be made more consistently availablefor all students. While there will always be limitations to accessing professionals due togeographic proximity, a thoroughly online world presents a chance to open up connections evenfor students who can’t easily travel to the nearest hospital, engineering firm, or manufacturingplant.

Again, there was no intention thatthey be responsible for laboratory content or delivery, but rather that they become a designresource to complement the academic input upon which the course was based. From theuniversity’s perspective, this would bring current design expertise into our design laboratories.From the company’s perspective, it would give them access to students and that would facilitatethe hiring process following graduation.2.

They also work inteams in the laboratory components of several earlier courses, but there is little formal instructiontherein on how to conduct good team work. If some of those ideas were learned early in theprogram, they could be used in any number of courses throughout the program, thereby enablingstudents to enter the senior design sequence with strong team skills and thus able to
