This paper reports the latest results of an NSF sponsored program to implement an undergraduate peer-to-peer mentoring model using concept mapping at the College of Technology-Computer Engineering Technology (CoT-CET) program of the University of Houston. Realizing the benefits of combining peer-to-peer mentoring with the use of concept mapping as a learning tool, the CoT-CET program launched a pilot program in fall 2008 to its freshman course in order to implement and assess the impact of incorporating the two models. The study compares skills reported by the students at the beginning of the semester with those collected at the end of the semester. It also presents the results of the performance achieved by the mentored students in the pilot group and the performance of students who were not part of the pilot group. In addition the report presents similar performance analysis from collaborating institutions – Houston Community College and TAMU Corpus Christi.
