MEMP was founded by a group of mechanical engineering students in the fall of 2019 in the effort to provide more support to undergraduate mechanical engineering students. Although UNL has a lot of great resources, we felt that there was something missing. MEMP allows you to connect 1-on-1 with an older student who knows firsthand just how tough being a freshman engineering student can be, especially if you are a first generation college student or are from out of the state or country.

MEMP has three main focuses:
- Mentors answer questions and provide advice using their own personal experiences as mechanical engineering students.
