Specifically, each student was asked to complete a questionnairebefore and after the PPIT program and we investigate this information for the purposes ofimproving PPIT and similar courses at other institutions. As we develop the course for nextyear, this study provides a framework that can assist in the development and improvement ofsimilar programs in other institutions going forward.INTRODUCTIONThe University of Toronto currently has a program for Ph.D. candidates in engineering to learnabout the transition from doctoral studies to academic careers

As in 2021, the program utilized departmental alumni as mentors andemphasized career path identification and professional development for the students. The 12undergraduate and Ph.D. mentoring circles averaged four mentoring events during the Fallsemester, followed by a Program Review and Celebration over ice cream sundaes in February.The undergraduates received resume feedback and tips on preparation for the Career Fair andlearned about a variety of careers that are available for chemical engineers.

The derived salary profile models are then used to evaluate the net present value(NPV) of engineering graduates from the 150 top-ranked engineering colleges. The NPV and model coefficients arethen regressed against the graduate’s college ranking and entry SAT scores. The results follow expectations, namelythat improved college rankings and SAT scores correlate with higher net present values of career earnings of $1,960per ranking point and $849 per SAT point. The models have also been used to evaluate internal rates of return onengineering educationKeywords: Human capital; internal rate of return; engineering education; college rankings

As thesestudents navigate their academic journey, mentorship is key to providing them with guidance,support, and a sense of belonging to overcome such hurdles.
