At the University of Pittsburgh, we have a system of courses and academic counseling that is designed to address these issues and help with this transition. One major component to help the freshman make this major transition is a series of mentoring courses that the entering student can select for the first semester. The student must also enroll in a Freshman Problem Solving course that details the use of various computer tools. This paper will discuss how these courses are integrated and describe the interaction of counseling with the first semester engineering problem solving course. The paper will also discuss the mentor selection process, the mentor-training program, and the topics covered in the mentoring sessions.

It is dimensioned for students in Engineering, Technology and Business Administration Fields. The Program includes visit to Enterprises and Universities and social activities, which will provide the students a great experience and discovering a different world. It can happen in other regions of the Country in according to the needs or the desire of the group. Previous experiences have showed positive aspects of such program like the opportunity for students and teachers to intensify the exchange of ideas and the mobility. Students pointed out the fact that for them it is a life time experience to know more about a different culture and the possibility to explore the working world in a nice and safe environment.
