They attended several volunteer board meetings and familiarized themselves with the organization and then decided to help create curriculum for the food based summer youth program that is hosted by the food bank. Kids spend time working in the community garden and then learn to prepare some of the food that they are growing. While it is cooking, they then play a game or do some other activity related to that food. The students created eight lessons plans based around different vegetables.  Self-Help International - Students worked on a two part project with a local nonprofit that serves communities overseas with a variety of initiatives.

andtheir mentors.A wide variety of mentoring topics have been analyzed in previous studies more specific toengineering and STEM subjects, and consideration of earlier literature reinforced the potential ofour trial to contribute to the experiences of undergraduate students. Research has explored thebenefits for young women of mentoring them into STEM subjects [9], the role of mentors inraising young women’s persistence [10] and their retention in engineering disciplines at a higherlevel [11]. A positive impact on career planning in STEM disciplines has also been found forstudents with disabilities [12]. Undergraduate students can mentor other students consideringentering the industry post-school [13] as well as their undergraduate peers [14

This could point to a missing link withrespect to developing a professional sense of social responsibility in engineers that could drawfrom the existing HSS influences that students reported. One student actually discussed howtheir humanities class influenced them negatively with respect to their views of engineering,saying: “Mostly the humanities, the engineering classes I took made me realize how irrelevant my major (mechanical engineering) is to making a difference in the world. I don't plan on using my major for anything in the future- planning on shifting my career path to the humanities/social sciences.”This response came from a female, senior engineering student who
