Furthermore, aneffective mentoring relationship can improve doctoral students’ research skills and productivity[11-14]. On the other hand, ineffective mentoring from advisors can lead to graduate students’negative mentoring experience, which in turn leads to detrimental career and psychosocialconsequences, such as missed opportunities for career networking and undermining of researchconfidence [15]. Although faculty mentoring has enormous effects on doctoral students’academic careers and confidence, no faculty is born a natural mentor. Unfortunately, facultyadvisors generally do not

engineers are responsible. Educating engineers for their career responsibilities hasalways been a priority of teaching institutions, but ethics education in engineering has not alwaysbeen a significant part of the curriculum. The importance of ethics training for students in otherfields such as medicine and psychology is more prevalent than that in the field of science andengineering. While the need for making ethical decisions for professionals in medicine andpsychology is apparent, it may not be so for engineers. Engineers make countless decisions thataffect the welfare of their corporations, their communities, and their professions. For instance, achemical engineer may have to choose between safety of those living near a plant and cost

Engineering for US All (e4usa) aims to fill this gap through a coursethat demystifies engineering while catering to a broad range of students. This paper examines theinfluence of the e4usa course on students’ engagement with engineering design, and theirunderstanding of engineering as a potential future educational and career pathway. Focus groupsessions were conducted with students from 12 participating schools during the 2020-21 schoolyear to examine how their interests and understanding of engineering were influenced by thecourse.
