a mutual relationship where the teacher and the student are both participants in thelearning journey. This type of relationship in the learning environment can contribute to agrowing awareness of the power of peer-led learning which fosters deeper student engagement inSTEM education (Micari, et al., 2005). Peer-led team learning has been found to illuminate thebenefits of peer-led learning by placing students in small project groups facilitated by their peers.These sessions foster shared responsibility for processes and outcomes, thereby breaking downthe isolation common in more traditional classroom settings (Whitcomb & Singh, 2021).Borrowing from the near-peer model where an undergraduate student completes a summerteaching internship

Social presence isdefined as interpersonal salience [5]. Online computer-based environments generally have alowered social presence than face-to-face conversations, as the interlocutors’ faces, facialexpressions, and voices may be masked. Students have been shown to be willing to provide moresubstantive critiques of peer writing in an environment with low social presence compared toface-to-face settings, both in high school students and at the university level [6], [7].Much work has been done investigating gender breakdown of groups in team learning, findingthat women participate

resources, such as the mentee/mentor ratio, total yearsof the undergraduate program and the local culture are some of the factors that govern the effectivenessof mentoring.Key words: role model, peer mentoring, academic counseling, sponsor, international students.IntroductionThe dictionary definition of the word ‘mentor’ is “an experienced and prudent advisor”, stemming fromthe Greek name Mentor, the advisor of the king Telemachus [1]. Mentoring differs from academiccounselling in many ways. Both the mentor and the mentee need to know each other at a personal level,and thus a stronger bond develops between the two, maintaining a lasting relationship often throughouttheir lifetime.

Freshmen can relate better to upperclassmen who are their peers andwho more recently have experienced what it takes to “make it in engineering.” Upperclassmen,particularly those with a proven track record of academic achievement and leadership, are morecredible sources and powerful role models for engineering freshmen. This assumption formedthe basis for development of a pilot freshman retention program, “Fast Track to Achievement.”The primary strategy of this program is to engage teams of upperclassmen in dialogue withgroups of freshmen in a series of workshops focusing on three themes

Each group member taught their learned topic to the other group members and they are in turn taught by their peers. Therefore, each group member shared their course topic segment of the ‘jigsaw puzzle’ and learned from their peers. This completed a coherent group ‘jigsaw’ of the course topic. 9. Faculty visits each group and encouraged team members to ask questions, write notes, draw diagrams and interact. 10. After each student had completed their teaching assignment and there had been enough time for discussion within the groups, the students returned to their individual seats and the test was given on

The course would focus on a single major design experience, and the basic structureshould allow for different structural systems to be considered at different years, depending on theexpertise of the main faculty member in charge of the course.

All of these, unless specificallyprescribed, don’t encourage the remote learner to connect with or collaborate with other students.When communication is a required component of a course, it often consists of shallow, teacher-mandated standards of communication with little student benefit other than attempting to helpstudents connect or provide unmotivated peer review, which doesn’t often lead to genuinediscussion. When learning is checked through standardized quizzing and lists, there is also a highrisk of cheating, where students can share answers or find them online during a testing session,which further reduces the authenticity of the learning and
