The workshop surveyed skill-building activities that doctoral advisors andmentors can conduct to help their advisees and mentees build both core academic skills and otherskills such as making lucid scientific presentations, writing effective technical documents, andpreparing grant proposals and papers for submission to funding agencies and journals. TheFellows responded positively to the workshop, with all six reporting in anonymous feedbackforms that they “learned things in the workshop that will help me be a better mentor to mygraduate students” and that

issues.At the beginning of the semester it was stressed that part of the grade for the project requires thatthe team must produce a functional prototype. This requirement was certainly a factor in some ofthe risk-taking decisions made by the teams. Although there were several technical difficultiesencountered throughout the semester, by the final week of class, all teams had produced aworking prototype.Although most of the prototypes were not suitable for manufacturing production, the project stillprovided valuable experience with the design process. The students became familiar with readingand interpreting a specification document which is very different from simply solving ahomework problem on paper. The students also learned how to develop tests

Eight questions about the importance of professional engineering skills were adaptedfrom [17] and will similarly be addressed in future work. This paper focuses
