5. Undergraduate Mentoring Survey
The MechSE department has created a committee to look at what can be done to enhance and improve undergraduate mentoring in our department. All MechSE undergraduates received a survey so that this committee can get feedback on what students think about how well MechSE has provided for undergraduate educational planning, research exposure, and interaction with faculty. It is important that you complete this survey. MechSE wants to improve your undergraduate experience; this is a way to have your voice heard to what changes could be implemented in the department
