, one that considersthe intellectual, social, cultural, and professional development needs of students andyoung professionals, and the need for taking little steps - one step at a time - that maymake a big difference in student’s performance and attitudes towards learning. It isargued that such an approach to mentoring will help encourage more underrepresentedgroups, such as women and minorities, to pursue careers in engineering. The paper, also,describes some attributes of mentoring and suggests how a faculty member might becomea good mentor to students.I. IntroductionMentoring is not a new concept. Many of us have benefited from a trusted mentor.Perhaps we called them a friend, family member, or an advisor, whose opinions andexperiences we

Combining face-to-face and distance-education coursesAnother opportunity to teach two sections as if they were one is to combine the work fora face-to-face and distance-ed (“online”) section of the same course. Of our respondents,26 of them thought this would save time, and 13 didn’t (Figure 5). The reasons in favorof it saving time mirror those for teaching multiple face-to-face sections. For example,“I've done this dozens of times over a 40+ year career. Definitely easier because there isonly one set of exams and assignments to prepare and you are focused on the topic. Seecomment above about two sections of the same course in the same semester. [11]”Just as with multiple on-campus sections, questions
