PGE/LCP: MentorNet, A National Electronic Industrial Mentoring Network for Women in Engineering and Science

MentorNet将学习工程、科学和数学的本科生和研究生与工业界的导师配对，使用3-mail来提高学生在SMET领域和职业中的留存率。这个国家项目的集中操作提供信息、应用、匹配培训、指导和评估，由电子通信支持。电子指导提供了一种成本高、时间有效的指导方式，超越了时间、地理和同步通信的典型限制，从而为许多没有导师的学生提供了导师。MentorNet的全国范围和规模为学生和导师之间提供了强有力的匹配潜力，并在运营中实现了显著的规模经济。MentorNet代表了学院、大学、公司和专业协会之间不断扩大的伙伴关系。MentorNet将早期的工作扩展到具有新系统和基础设施和扩大规模的新环境中的新人群。到第三年，MentorNet将涉及100所参与的校园，为5000对学生/导师提供服务。

MentorNet pairs undergraduate and graduate women studying engineering, sciences, and mathematics with mentors in industry using 3-mail to improve student retention in SMET fields and careers. This national program's centralized operations provide information, applications, matching training, coaching, and evaluation supported by electronic communications. Electronic mentoring offers a highly cost- and time-effective means of mentoring, transcending typical restraints of time, geography, and synchronous communication, thereby providing mentors to many students who would not otherwise have them. MentorNet's national scope and scale offer potential for strong matches between students and mentors, and significant economies of scale in operations. MentorNet represents an expanding partnership among colleges and universities, corporations, and professional societies. MentorNet extends earlier work to new populations in new settings with new systems and infrastructure and enlarged scale. By Year 3, MentorNet will involve 100 participating campuses, serving 5,000 student/mentor pairs.
