Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient method for a university mentor-mentee system to assist the completion of a student's major study in a university. The proposed system connects undergraduate students from a freshman through a senior by the cascade type, and a mentor student in a sophomore or a junior year acts as a mentee at the same time. A mentee can get help not only from his direct senior mentor but also from all his senior mentors. Based on this, all students can be organically connected to each other, and then the students in the department can establish intimate relationships among themselves, which will in turn induce a good learning environment in the major education. The proposed mentoring system has been actually applied to the department students of computer engineering. The questionnaire surveys have been conducted targeting the participated student mentors and mentees, and then the operation results of the proposed system are analyzed in this paper.
