Since the course preceded most ofthe manuals, faculty prepared notes from National Council of Examiners for Engineering andSurveying (NCEES) sample exams. The last four weeks of the course are divided into the fivedisciplines and a General Engineering track. The classes are split into six tracks for weeks 9through 12 (if less than four students select a track, it is canceled). The scheduling for the lastfour sessions is a logistical nightmare. Plans are developed to change and repackage this portionof the course.In- plant courses run through the Corporate Education

Guidance, also known as mentoring, from senior faculty would ease the stress ofmeeting these demands by providing information about policies, introductions to others in thefield, and offering teaching and research tips. The most common definition of mentoring is, “arelationship between an experienced, successful individual and a less experienced menteewhereby the latter receives guidance and advice from the former”1-3.
