a two-part initiative where students willhave the opportunity to receive mentoring from an industry-based or academia-based leader oftheir choosing. This way, students may engage proactively with individuals who may or may notbe in their current professional networks. This may then reinforce the knowledge and skillsstudents learn from their mentors and allow students to serve as peer mentors to otherengineering students.The mentoring system is a personal development relationship between students and their chosenmentors and mentees, which involves routine activities and interactions. Students' activities withtheir mentors and mentees are expected to be in-person, or as direct as possible, and will befacilitated by technological means such as

To fill this gap, out-of-classactivities, such as design contests, can be a valuable supplement to the undergraduate curriculum.Polmear et al. observed that out-of-class activities can help students develop attributes that are notsufficiently covered in the curriculum13. They reported that students who engaged in out-of-classactivities more strongly believed themselves to have achieved the attributes of The Engineer of 2020(outlined in the National Academy of Engineering’s list of 10 desirable attributes for engineers14)than did their peers who were not involved in out-of-class activities.

This approachenabled students to engage with the research process, understand its various phases andinteractions, and synthesize information from diverse sources to address both local community andglobal challenges. Additionally, they learned to formulate and effectively communicate designrequirements and solutions, focusing on their societal benefits and economic feasibility.

A largeproportion of interview responses referred to interactions with other people that were closelyrelated to supervision in the sense that the interview subject was relying on other people toperform some work or provide information. The term ‘coordination’ seemed moreappropriate and general than supervision as most of the people were not subordinates of therespondent. Instead they were clients, peers, people in other parts of the same organization,superiors, contractors, and outsiders. These were mostly one-on-one situations and mostreferences were in response to questions unrelated to supervision.Willing cooperation also seemed to be important.

Instructors upload templates toindicate where the AI tool can find specific information on the scanned pages (e.g., areas wherestudents are required to write their name or final answers to a question). This is useful toautomatically assign exams to the appropriate student, by reading their name and/or identifier.Also, it allows decoding final answers and creating groups of identical answers, which can thenbe graded jointly at the group-level.
