This paper explores the benefits gained as a result of participating in the piloted peermentoring program for transfer students and the impact this extension could have on participants’academic careers.MethodologyThe FEP Peer Mentoring Program, established in 2007, has played a key role in enhancing first-year engineering students' retention, preparing them for their sophomore year, and contributingto improved graduation rates. Each first-year student in the cohort is assigned a dedicated peermentor, that is an upper-class student. The program mandates weekly meetings with thesementors and is an

At Rensselaer, he graduated 37 M.S. students and 20 Ph.D. students, and authored over 30 refereed journal articles and over 50 refereed conference papers. In 2006 at RPI, he received the two highest awards conferred for teaching: the RPI School of Engineering Education Excellence Award and the RPI Trustees’ Outstanding Teacher Award. Over the past 20 years, he has conducted hands-on, integrated, customized, mechatronics workshops for practicing engineers nationally and internationally, e.g., at Xerox

Our experience shows thatthe removal of prerequisites, making the course readily available for those interested in pursuingCS, had no significant impact on student performance. Having minimal prerequisites has beneficialeffects in terms of diversifying the CS student body as well as enabling students to begin CScoursework early, often in the first semester, potentially impacting persistence, but also enablingstudents to decide, early, if CS is right for them.
