As a mentor where would you search for vital statistics. What type of search engines and patent sites would you use. Where and who should I be contacting to get a lead in finding a career as an engineer or the specific field you are trying to get into.

What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
When working with a new student try to find out if they would want to make a schedule on contacting back and forth and an expectation on when you will get feedback. I thought my mentor was a good mentor I just never knew when and what to talk about exactly with mine.
Be patient, especially if the person is a senior because we have a lot of things to do.

Please describe why or why not.
I would like mentoring later on from professionals because the mentors can help with being placed in jobs and can help you know what to expect on projects.
My mentor was really helpful in our project. So if she is that helpful in that area, other people could help me in other areas.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
The most difficult parts of working with my mentor was definitely communication because I wasn't sure what I should be sending them and I didn't always have a computer around to communicate everything. By the time I needed help, I didn't have enough time to get a response from my mentor to help me on the project itself. This was mainly my problem because I had poor communication skills.
The most difficult part of working on this project with my mentor was finding the time to ask her things, also finding the right words to say to her so that she would understand what I was trying to say,
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.
I do not have any other comments for my experience of this project. The problems I had were my fault because of my communication was poorly executed.
I like this program, my mentor helped me with our project so that we could get it done.
