making sure every student graduate and the course curriculum and all that stuff.Drawing from our findings, EIF are not just restricted to their primary duty of teaching, they arealso involved in multiple other roles across the leadership spectrum in engineering education.One of the EIF that typifies this is Victor. Victor is the associate department chair; as such, heenumerates the number of leadership roles he takes on in his department. I'm the associate chair in the department, I am in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. I support several of the tasks such as scheduling, managing personnel, laboratories. Also, I am, in part of academics, I'm an ABET accredited program evaluator. So, during the last cycle, I

I still have that, because I remember when we started the program they asked for a little bio, for them to post on Twitter. They were like, “Oh, just tell us about yourself, and why you decided to pursue a PhD program with us.” And I wrote that I want people to have that “Ah-ha!” moment. So, the drive and the purpose of me wanting to stay in

The study concluded that “graduate students’ perceptions of theideal mentor are influenced somewhat by major socio-cultural factors, but also suggest thatindividual differences may play a larger role” [25]. Mutual respect fosters an environment ofstrong relationship for effective engagement and attracts students who commit and want tofollow the mentor because, relationally, the students are motivated by the sense that the mentorcares for them more than his or her positional rights, and so are willing to follow in theirmentor’s directives
