<li>Open for all years (Freshman - Seniors) and for all majors<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>Programming is starting to become a valuable skill in many different professions, not limited to Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, etc.</li>

'''Tactic #4: Internship Workshop'''

~~''''''<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>~~Description: Address pain points with internships and gauge interest for future workshops from first and second year students.

<li>Description: Address pain points with internships and gauge interest for future workshops from first and second year students.<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>This workshop’s purpose is to be an introduction to summer internships available for engineering students. Through this workshop participants will learn about what types of internships their peers have attended previously, the different types of internships available per discipline of engineering, and will participate in a discussion to gauge what content future workshops will cover.</li>

</ul></li>

<li>Have open discussion with students about what it is like to be an intern and some advice for applying/ interviewing</li><li>Topics to talk about with students:<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>Tailoring your classes/ electives to score your target internship</li><li>How to make your interview stand out</li><li>Ask students if they would be interested to have a career advisor come in from CAP services to teach them how to make resumes and cover letters</li>

</ul></li>

'''Tactic #2: Mentorship Program'''

~~<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>~~Problem: There is a clear gap between the underclassmen and upperclassmen engineers. It is very clear that after engineering 101, first year students are not connected with upperclassmen ab VB resources on campus to help guide them and find their passions.~~</li><li>~~Proposal: I think we can help bridge this gap by implementing an engineering mentorship program. This would be conducted by pairing first year students with third year students and second year students with fourth year students based off of their specific interests. This would help to bridge a gap within our interdisciplinary engineering bbbprogram but B.B. b.  B. B. Ben and bbbb vand allow students to create relationships with older students, have guidance from someone who has been in their place, and to help them network!~~</li><li>~~Prototyping:~~</li><li>~~Feedback

She told me that I would have to speak with Dr. Paterson, the department head, and Dr. Gipson who is in charge of a lot of the first year students to get some feedback.</li><li>This idea started when I was a TA for a first year class, ENGR 112, and many students approached me for advice and help with their first year concerns and classes. They expressed gratitude for my help and said that it was nice to have someone older than them that has been through these struggles/classes and can give them some insight and advice. THIS WAS MY PROTOTYPING PHASE. I realized that after Engineering 101 these kids are on their own. If every student had an older mentor, they would feel more apart of a community and more likely to get involved on campus!</li>
