In academic support forSTEM majors, peer mentoring has often referred to upper-year students serving as academicsocial role models for lower-year students. For the purpose of this study “peer mentoring” andsubsequently “peer mentor(s)” will refer to year 2-6 students who lead first-year students in pre-college engineering camps, serve as Supplemental Instructors in historically challenging coursesin engineering, conduct community outreach events, and assist first-year students withscheduling their courses [6].

Lastly, referenceswere further filtered towards those with dates from the past ten years in order to include the mostup-to-date literature. However, a few references prior to the ten year cutoff were used due torelevancy and lack of research within the ten year span.Research PartnershipsThe importance of research involving industry-academia collaboration was recognized as earlyas the late 1990’s, especially in software and computer science2. Professionals in both industryand academia realized that they had to cooperate to solve issues inherent to their workenvironments.

Faculty should be engaged in supporting these diverse students beyond theirteaching role, including academic advising, coaching and mentoring, social status checks, andmore. Furthermore, faculty involved in these roles should be supported and rewarded, as theywould be for other important campus initiatives. Nonetheless, there are some challenges with thisapproach since research has shown that women and minority faculty typically already have aheavier service load and more diversity responsibilities than do their peers.
