Student Employment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, the Bechtel Center is staffed and operated by student employees known as Peer Mentors. Whether an undergraduate or graduate student, each Peer Mentor is versed in a variety of skills from computer aided design to manufacturing and prototyping disciplines. It is the job of a Peer Mentor to assist Bechtel Center members in completing their projects from the design consultation stage all the way up to the manufacturing stage. The process of becoming a Peer Mentor at the Bechtel Center begins with the completion of the center\u2019s Volunteering Process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Volunteer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you believe you have the passion and temperament to effectively teach and assist other students in any of the center\u2019s areas, these steps are your roadmap. Beginning with the Inter-Lab Volunteering Process, meet Peer Mentors from every area and experience the wide variety of working environments that the Bechtel Center has to offer. Then take a deeper look at a specific area of your choosing to complete the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
