The major goals of our mentoring program are peer-mentoring and community building.We achieve our goals by providing (1) a support and discussion group, and environment duringthe transition time of the graduate studies, (2) career and study planning, and (3) professionaldevelopment for the women in our graduate biomedical engineering program. Higher percentages of female students and tenured/tenured-track faculty in our BMEprogram provide us with a great potential for role models, thus our future goal is to expandmentoring to female students in our engineering school.Mentoring In her book [2], Dr. Emily M.

The benefits of early interaction with lower division studentshave also been discussed by Yokomoto, et al.1. While retention of ABE students is the primarydriving force for this change, offering an introductory course in Agricultural and BiologicalEngineering has the additional potential of recruiting students who are undecided in selecting anengineering major. In addition to the learning process, a possible benefit to the students is thedevelopment of support networks that include ABE classmates, faculty and staff. Suchnetworks, according to Hewitt and Seymour2, enable students to persist in their chosen major.Creation

To equip students with the skills required for a data-driven industry, it is crucial to understand their perceptions of data science and their willingnessto embrace it in their academic and professional journey. This study engages a diverse group ofchemical engineering students across different academic levels to explore their viewpoints ondata science and its potential integration into the academic curriculum.The instrument assesses four crucial constructs: interest, career aspirations, perceived value, andself-efficacy regarding data science.

Education In doctorate education, a mentor's ability to effectively shape a student's experiences andoutcomes is critical. A mentor is a capable or experienced individual who provides direction,encouragement, and advice to a less seasoned individual [1]. Accordingly, mentoring ischaracterized as a developmental connection in which a more knowledgeable or experiencedindividual provides guidance, support, and help to a less knowledgeable one [2]. Additionally,Toma [3] highlights that the purpose of mentoring is to provide a framework for teaching andmodeling values and life skills, as well as to encourage personal growth through the sharing ofexperiences and insights.

2Interestingly, in cultures that produce a large number of female math and science graduates,including South and East Asian cultures, the basis of success is generally attributed less toinherent ability and more to effort. This can be seen in the past year in the discussion of being a“Tiger Mother” 6 and having students focus more on putting forth an effort. Many times in theU.S. culture, women students exude a need to having been born with the trait or skill, rather thanit requires effort or that it can be thought of as a challenge.Career Counseling - Because of mindset and effort, one major focus on recruitment can be onhow we do career counseling.
