The M.O.D.E.L M.E mentoring program is still accepting applications for the 2023-2024 school year. This mentoring program is open to all mechanical engineering students at UMBC and offers a great opportunity to connect with peers and learn more about the tools and resources that can help you succeed in your academic and future career as an engineer.
Why be a mentor?
As a mentor, you can help new students navigate their first experiences at UMBC and offer valuable insights into what's to come. By building connections between upperclassmen and newer students, we can foster growth and diversity within our community. Mentoring others can also help build your resume and leadership skills.
Mentor Responsibilities:
- Attend the meet-up event to meet your mentee
- Periodically meet with your mentee to check in and offer advice
- Keep in contact with your mentee and answer their questions
Why be a mentee?
As a mentee, you will receive advice and valuable knowledge from your mentor. They can answer questions about classes, resumes, or anything else you want to learn more about to improve your college experience. You and your mentor can decide whether to meet in person or connect online.
There will be a group meet-up event where mentors will get to meet their mentees, as well as periodic group meetings throughout the school year for everyone to take a mental break and have fun with games and food.
Students of all academic years are eligible to become a mentee, while the mentor positions are only open to juniors, seniors, and super-seniors.

The deadline to apply to be either a mentor or mentee has been extended to this Friday, September 29th. To apply, please fill out the appropriate application form:
