Professional Mentorship Program

Program Overview

The College of Engineering Professional Mentorship Program is a one-semester opportunity designed to help current College of Engineering students grow personally, academically, and professionally through mentorship with a current industry professional. Mentors will work one-on-one with mentees throughout the semester, offering insight into the engineering field, advice on building their career, and encouragement as they navigate their college journey.

Objectives and Goals

Through this program, mentees will be able to:

• Explore careers in engineering and gain real-world perspective
• Strengthen professional communication and networking skills
• Set academic and career goals with guidance from a mentor
• Build confidence in a future as an engineer

At the end of the semester, mentees will have a chance to share their progress and reflect on what they've accomplished through this mentorship experience.

Application and Pairings

Both mentors and mentees must apply and be selected to participate in this program. Application links will be posted on this page as the next cohort start date approaches. Mentor and mentee pairings will be determined based on compatibility in interests, goals, and responses provided in the application forms. The committee will prioritize aligning mentees with mentors who share similar communication preferences, personal interests, or goals to foster meaningful connections.
