In most science and engineering fields, success in research (in both academia and industry) requires not only advanced domain-specific knowledge and sophisticated experimental and analytical skills, but mentoring and managerial skills as well.

In order to support graduate students and post-docs from across the Institute in their roles as undergraduate mentors, the Teaching and Learning Lab (TLL) and the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming (UAAP) offer the Facilitating Effective Research (FER) Program.

The FER program is designed to facilitate the communication and skills between mentors and mentees. This 5-session workshop will make the students be aware of some of the most common mistakes when mentoring and teaching to a new trainee.
