Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
I felt that the best part of working on this project was getting insight from actual engineers, instead of reading it out of a text book.
I enjoyed having feedback from an outside source that wasn't my teacher or parent. It was nice to work with someone different.
Learning so much.
The best part was that I was able to have a kind and friendly person encourage me and aid me through the project even when I didn't think I could do it.
He was very helpful, taking his own time to go beyond the requirements.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
I have also considered forensic pathology as a career.
History.
None.

Please describe why or why not.
I feel that experience is the best way of learning and I believe that working with another mentor would impart even more knowledge to me.
Yes I would because it really helped to communicate back and forth for a project.
I don't.
I believe that I can handle things myself from now on and would like to work towards my goals without the need of help from others.
It can be very helpful.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
The most difficult part was probably my schedule. I feel that I didn't always meet my quota of two messages per week.
I think it was a little hard communicating sometimes because of other subjects in school. But I did not have really any super difficult experiences.
Writing.
The most difficult parts were when I had no clue what i was supposed to do and my mentor didn't give much insight but did encourage me instead which was good enough in itself.
Finding interviews was difficult.
