they made no use of the peer-mentors or they had little to no effect (‘NoDetermination’). Technique 2’s requirement that students make use of their assigned peer-mentorclearly, and unsurprisingly, forces them to establish some clear ‘consultant’ or ‘mentor’relationship. More importantly, the provided instructions for those interactions do admittedlyfocus on the project itself and steer those interactions towards a more transactional interaction,which explains the majority ‘consultant’ roles identified. Clearly without having interacted, theydo not even have a chance to promulgate a relationship at all, particularly one that goes beyondthe project and towards developing as a student and budding engineer.

inconsistent use of symbols between relatedcourses. For example, some authors use sn, ss, and e for normal stress, shear stress, and strain,instead of the standard Greek symbols σ, τ, and ε. This use of Latin characters with multiplesubscripts confuses students because the Greek symbols are used in textbooks for other courses,and because capital S is used for section modulus later in this course.

In this sense, the lessons presented here fill a gap in the persistence literatureespecially in terms of young engineering programs.3.
