research findings as well asthe importance of student-centered teaching practices in engineering education.Moving forward, the second phase of the project involves recruiting two participants from eachof five additional departments within the College of Engineering (Electrical and ComputerEngineering, Aerospace and Ocean Engineering, Construction Engineering and Management,Chemical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering). This expanded participant group willcontribute to our extended data collection efforts, and they will be extended invitations toparticipate in our upcoming two-day summer workshop, with participation support facilitatedthrough the NSF grant.

to be useful to a broad set of educational contexts. Respondents’ teachingbackground spanned several engineering disciplines including civil, mechanical, computer,biomedical, chemical, industrial, electrical, aerospace, and multi-disciplinary backgrounds. Mostrespondents were from Doctoral/Professional Universities (D/PU), and minority-servinginstitutions (MSIs) represented 18% of those in the sample. Further, most respondents were inearly-career, tenured positions, or instructor/lecturer positions (Table 2). Demographically, 52%of respondents identified as male, followed by 42% female, and 2.0% did not specify. Further,59% of respondents were Caucasian, 15% were Asian, 7.4% did not specify, 5.4% were Black orAfrican American, 5.4% were

,understanding what contributes to the variance exposed in disconfirming or discrepant evidenceis vital to the interpretation of qualitative research [5], [7], [9]. Failure to investigate cases thatdo not conform to theoretical predictions could introduce bias and cause valid alternateexplanations to be overlooked [7], [8]. The current paper focuses on three outlier participantsfrom the larger sample because they each conveyed uncertainty or inconsistency in labelingtheir mentoring experiences as mentorship. No other participants in the larger study expressedsuch views. The outlier participants in this study represent the three faculty ranks included inthe study and come from different engineering disciplines (aerospace engineering
