Mentoring

New service for students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Engineering

Within the framework of the project "Challenge Excellence in Teaching" RWTH Aachen University is committed to continuously improve the teaching and the academic feasibility of its study programs.

A key element in reaching this aim is the extensive "Aachen Mentoring Program" which complements the already existing advisory offers of the faculties with departmental mentors. In our faculty, we introduced mentoring in the beginning of 2012. Several mentoring conversations took place since then.

Our mentoring conversations are confidential, voluntary and personal consultations between a mentor (see below) and a mentee (student). Our basic concern is to assist the mentee in his/her personal study situation. We want to help him/her navigate their work and life at FB6/ RWTH Aachen University. Aim of the consultations is therefore to gain clarity about the mentees’ situation, to concretize their own goals, and then to identify potential improvements and individual strengths and mobilize them for their own goals.

We see ourselves as dialogue partners and your coach for questions about your daily student life. Furthermore, we serve as entry point to further advisory service and offers within RWTH Aachen University and beyond.
