<p>anyone know anything about that program? my friend (CSE major) is in it and she said it is hopeful to have a mentor that can help you with classes planning and such... plus it also seems pretty nice to just have someone experience to get advices from... so is that program for all engineering majors or specific majors?</p>
<p>which engineering mentorship program are you referring to? there's a lot of them on campus.</p>
<p>oh i don't really know? i never paid much attention to them but what are some programs you know...</p>
<p>TBP, SWE, AIChE (kinda), PIE..</p>
<p>just some on the top of my head.</p>
<p>i can give you all the information you want about TBP mentorship, so if you have any questions, ask away!</p>
<p>cool i'll do some research on those then, how competitive are they to get in the program?</p>
<p>not competitive at all to join a mentorship program. we had to reject some applications this quarter because we had too many (about 2-3 mentees to 1 mentor). </p>
<p>having mentors has helped me a lot in the past couple of years so it's nice to give back to other students :). what year is your friend?</p>
<p>and to answer your original question: some mentorship programs are specific to majors.</p>
<p>AIChE, for example, is for chemical engineering students (or students interested in switching to chemical). Other general engineering organizations, like SWE or TBP, have mentors from all the engineering disciplines.</p>
<p>oh i see, i'll look into that since i have no clue what to do with my major as there are specific fields... my friend is a 2nd year, does that also affect the application process? (like if im too old? :D)</p>
<p>is your friend jeannie by any chance...</p>
<p>and what major are you (i feel like i should know this already...lol)</p>
<p>O.o you know her?? interesting... i love how everyone at ucla seems to be connected... anyways im civil engineering major... i think i want to do transportation engineer (not bus driver kind) but i don't think they offer that field straight up so im really confused</p>
<p>HAHA small world (or campus).</p>
<p>jeannie is actually my mentee :)</p>
<p>oh haha thats pretty cool, anyways as of right now is there like drop in counseling or anything that sort? or should i just go try to discuss it with engineering school counselor?</p>
<p>mm we don't have formal drop-in counseling - i'm sure if you had any questions you could stop by the TBP office and ask any of the mentors (BH 6266). we won't push you away because you're not a mentee or anything like that :P. </p>
<p>you would get the most formal type of counseling from our engineering counselors but if you're looking for a student's opinion/first-hand experience, a mentor (or someone from CC) would be a great resource for you. </p>
<p>if you're interested, i can give you the contact info of some civil engineering mentors that we have and you could email them some questions you have (and say that i gave you their info).</p>
<p>oh cool, i don't think there are any upperclass civil engineering majors on CC since i rarely get replies to my questions regarding upperdiv classes :(</p>
<p>You make a good point there. I rarely see any post about civil engineering stuff in the ask flopsy forum.</p>
<p>well in 2 years i can give advice for Civil E? :D but for now i need help lol</p>
<p>does anyone know how many civil engineering majors are enrolled at UCLA? i know materials is the smallest...</p>
<p>if you're interested in meeting other Civil E's/getting advice from them, you should check out ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers).</p>
<p>^sweet thanks.</p>
<p>didn't know there were that many civil E's</p>
<p>Second most female engineering population</p>
<p>lol which major is first? i always thought civil was first since in my 101 class, almost half of the class is females</p>
