primary goal of my work is student wellness andpersonal development during the first year of an engineering degree. I am a part of the StudentWellness and Engineering attributes team, where we plan, coordinate, and deliver seminars in thetopics which directly touch upon the wellness wheel and keep students informed of the servicesavailable at the university to help in their overall success. I believe creating this awareness is asimportant as the technical aspect of the degree, and we have realized that those who get thatsense of belonging and access to such supports are more likely to succeed in their journey anddevelop engineering self-efficacy.Robyn: My focus is on Engineering.

Clickerquestions and problem-solving activities were primarily used to engage the students, along withthink-pair-share activities and open-ended discussion questions in which students made jointcontributions using a Google doc/word cloud.

Thisis particularly true when the design activities contain problems that require different problem-solving processes [21]. In addition to facilitating learning and

To determine if the interaction was positive, neutral, or negative one researcher codedeach interaction as such and the additional researcher checked for agreement. The processcontinued until there was 100% agreement on the response code. Nonetheless, we are aware thatthere is some subjectivity in the coding process and in future work we plan to ask the participantsthemselves to mark their interpretation of the interactions.FindingsTable 3 shows a list of the participants along with each of the four weeks grouped by the six co-curricular support categories and if they engaged that week, marked by a yes or no, with thesupport mechanism.

identities, providing crucial support especially for underrepresented students who face uncertainty about belonging in a group. [24] Developing the mentor-mentee relationship before transferring is expected to minimize, if not eliminate, the difficulties students face acquiring a sense of community at the transfer institution. Mentors and mentees follow a structure, submitting a mentor plan and outcomes. A near-peer mentoring model was developed wherein second year students mentored first-year students, and recent transfer students mentored second year students, typically of the same major. Ongoing research is being conducted to determine the most effective way to match mentors and mentees. 5. Leaderships

projectfunding has grown from 12.5% of the projects in 2016-17, to a peak of 33% in 2018-19, withCOVID slowing further growth over the past two years.A second factor affecting cost are unforeseen and reorders due to either engineering or partselection mistakes. These can easily double the cost of an individual project. It is clear that inscenarios where all teams are supervised by a single or by multiple instructors jointly, theindividual attention a team can receive is diluted, which in turn triggers increased unforeseen costs. An element of the evolution of the teaching modes (made possible by lowerworkloads) has been the development of a much more detailed order and change-order approvalprocess linked to a higher level of planning support and

for the mentoring matches. Onboardingincluded setting clear expectations for the roles and responsibilities of both parties and co-developing a mentoring plan that required articulation of the mentee’s career goals and theplanned mode and frequency of communication. These requirements led the participants tounderstand the nature of their relationship early on, which promoted a deep connection from thestart. How the mentors demonstrated care and commitment prompted mentees to do the samewith their students as the mentees experienced the benefit personally and sought to replicate it.Thus, higher education institutions and mentoring program designers must implementonboarding, check-in, and reflective experiences with mentoring program
