scalable network. The mentoring circles are one part of theGradTrack program structure, which includes scheduled meetings in the fall semester with setcurriculum and deliverables related to graduate school preparation [6]. Pre- and post- programsurveys of participants show that a) GradTrack mentees feel more prepared for graduate school,b) GradTrack increases mentees’ feelings of belonging with graduate students and to theengineering community at large, and c) GradTrack increases professional development forgraduate student mentors [1]. The goal of GradTrack is to build community and prepare the nextgeneration of graduate students from all backgrounds – the mentoring circle structure is an integralcomponent for success.However, the process of

[1] Figure 1 Relative Motion Problem ExampleIn traditional instructional settings, this concept is often taughtthrough lectures and standard problem sets. While these methods may effectively convey the basicprinciples, they frequently fall short in helping students overcome common misconceptions and indeveloping a deep, intuitive understanding of the subject. This difficulty is exacerbated wheninstruction is primarily content-focused
and composite bodies-StaticsThe centroid serves as the geometric center of a body, coinciding with the center of mass or gravityonly when the material composing the body is uniform or homogeneous [10]. Formulas forcalculating the centroid of regular areas (such as circular arc segments, quarters, semicircle arcs,trapezoids, semi-parabolas, and parabolic areas) can be found at the end of Statics textbooks.To simplify these calculations, one can create a Centroid class that prompts for (a) the shape of thearea and (b) the required dimension(s) to calculate the centroid. For example, for a trapezoidalarea, the centroid can be determined by providing the magnitudes of the two bases and the altitude.In engineering mechanics, there are instances

a normal distribution. The concern was prompted again by anecdotal evidencethat, during the current 2024-2025 academic year, academic performance in many engineeringcourses has been bimodally distributed. It seems as if there is a group of students doing verywell, performing at the “A” and high “B” range, and a group of students performing poorly, inthe “D” and “F” range. Plotting the grades for some current courses confirms this. However, themath placement and SAT scores observed do not support this, but instead appear normallydistributed. To confirm this, both the skewness and kurtosis were determined for each year forthe cadets that graduated in CEE. The results are shown in Figure 6. MP means Math Placementin the figure
