RS Survey: Mentoring Programs

We recently conducted a survey to assess RS member interest in supporting a student scholarship program, mentoring, and internships. Approximately two thirds of the respondents expressed interest in mentoring junior reliability professionals. It turns out that IEEE already provides tools to facilitate mentor/mentee relationships. IEEE CollabratecTM (http://ieee-collabratec.ieee.org/) is an integrated online community where technology professionals can network and collaborate. It is free to everyone not just IEEE members, so there is the potential to find mentors or mentees who are neither IEEE or RS members. Collabratec also has many forums that enable conversations on the latest topics of interest to IEEE members. These forums provide an environment suitable for more thoughtful and focused technical exchanges than the posts commonly found on similar professional social media sites.
