,instructional videos, and mentorship are critical to the success of open-ended projects.The next major focus of the first-year engineering program is develop a mentorship program tosupport course projects. When students propose their own ideas, it helps to have a mechanismthat finds experts to support their project. Teaching assistants with experience in the proposedareas are a valuable resource to guide students from their conceptual design to productdevelopment. Further research is needed to understand and improve the role of the mentors foreach RAD project.References [1] Walsh, D., (2004) A Freshman Design Experience Using Rapid Prototyping.

. Often as they begin their course of studies they sometimesstruggle to see how classes in their first year on campus connect to the careers that they haveenvisioned. CoRe co-curricular programming provides students with a broad introduction to theengineering profession, experiential opportunities, mentoring, connections to campus resources,problem solving and team building skills to retain them at the university and in the college.Supporting student success relies on the programs ability to show students their potential role inthe engineering professional community and that they belong in the college. The main goalthroughout the academic year is to help new students to become integrated into their college anduniversity community by connecting
