Zero, a sophomore student inmechanical engineering technology, and Xiomara, a junior student with a minor in mechanicalengineering respectively mentioned, “I like the people in my major a lot, not just as like, "OH,they're nice professors," but like as actual people. They're very kind, and they really do try tohelp you out as best as they can” and “The actual college of engineering classes that I havetaken, I've had nothing but great things. Like they've actually made me believe that I could do it.”Also, Gillian, a junior student in mechanical and aerospace engineering, agreed with her peers inemphasizing the key role that having supportive faculty has on students, she added, “I feelcomfortable with my professors, even if I don't know
,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

The qualitative questionswere about facilitators and barriers affecting both the personal and academic lives of femalestudents. In addition, the participants ranked the factors and evaluated their influence. Theinterviews were recorded and transcribed for further analysis to minimize potential bias.4.

The Majors have a focus, although not exclusively, on emerging andrapidly developing areas of specialization within engineering, with a belief that these areas arebest supported by math and science, and that emerging disciplines ripe with opportunity sit at theintersection of science and engineering.Some of the Majors that are offered within the Engineering Science program are also offered inother institutions/programs (like Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Electrical& Computer Engineering), while other Majors are unique in Canada to the program (likeEngineering
