Figure 1 clearly demonstrates the breadth of impact of adopting a cloud- based platform on the program’s curriculum. Though faculty have the option to choose the CAx tools that best suit the learning outcomes of their courses, practicality often dictates that it is easier to work with the system that students are already familiar with from earlier CAD instruction. Adopting 3DExperience would require each of the classes illustrated to re- structure experiences using the new platform. For example, MFGE 333 and 463 utilize Model-Based Definition

To inform the above activities, we have two mentoring surveys.  First, there is a Mentee-Seeking-Mentor Mentoring Survey. In Section 3, we present data for the following relevant questions:  Q13: How many faculty mentors do you have? How many peer and industry mentors do you have?  Q14-Q18: Do you seek mentoring on research, technical skills, professional skills, graduate school, academic success?  Next, there is a Mentoring Survey for Faculty – What Faculty Seek in their Mentees.
