Intelligences and Their ImplicationsMultiple IntelligencesThe theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) was originally developed in 1983 by Howard Gardner.It suggests that the traditional IQ-based description of intelligence is not adequate to describehuman potential. Gardner proposes nowadays 8 different intelligences to account for a broaderrange of human potential in children and adults.Table 1.

formal training and experience is not in education at all, but instead has spent yearslearning the technical side of engineering. With a mentor, the new engineering educator will notonly develop more quickly, but perhaps even more successfully than without a mentor. With thisin mind, some institutions have established a formal mentoring program and/or process, whereinmentors are trained and a mentor assignment process is established. (Jackson et al. performed astudy of 24 institutions with such programs,4 but discussion of their results is beyond the scopeof this paper.) Unfortunately, as is often the case, the new engineering educator is left on hisown to seek a mentor and establish a mentoring relationship. This paper will present advice for
