Given the diverse socio-demographicbackground of the students in the mentoring program, their perceptions of how culturalbackground influences their relationship with their faculty and peer mentors will be addressed aswell (see Section 3 in Table 1). Lastly, students will be asked to provide an overall assessment oftheir mentoring experiences with both their peer and faculty mentors (see Section 4 in Table 1).As indicated in Table 1 (see Column 1: Item Focus), the majority of measures will be used toassess both faculty and peer mentoring experiences with the exception of a few measures thataim to assess aspects specific to the faculty or peer mentor relationship.Table 1.

Ourgoal here is not to make a conclusive argument about the connection between research topics andcollaborations across universities but rather highlight that the changes in major research areas,for example, in response to funding opportunities, may play a role in connecting researchers withdifferent degrees of expertise across institutions; future research may examine suchmulti-variable relationships.References 1.

Warm milk is flowing slowly (v = 6 cm s-1) in laminar fashion (no chaotic mixing) through it. The milk entering the tube is chocolate-free (0.0 g cm-3). Chocolate dissolving in the milk is carried downstream by convection and is also spreading radially inward by diffusion. The diffusion coefficient of the chocolate in the milk is D = 0.35 cm2 s-1.

The technology trends listed above are further enabled by industries such as thesemiconductor [3] and wireless [4], both of which are facing acute shortage of new talent. Hence,in addition to employer-specific training, it is imperative that engineering programs update theircurricula and pedagogy to include experiential learning experiences that would better preparegraduates to meet industry expectations.
