Title :
Mentoring high school students: Lessons learned
Abstract :
This paper shares my personal experience mentoring 38 high school students who participated in the New Visions Engineering Program since the program was introduced in 2009. I also discuss observations on behaviors of the students I mentored and my own lessons learned. In addition, statistical data is presented to illustrate the program´s effectiveness and its trends. Concluding remarks further support benefits of such highly successful and inspirational programs that integrate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) for our future engineers.
