Thus, training as well as personal mentoring experiencesshape the ways graduate students come to approach their mentoring practice [6].Other studies have noted some key challenges associated with graduate student mentoring [8],[15]. For one, graduate students struggle to balance the time commitments necessary for astructured training program with coursework and other academic program requirements. Further,we must consider the ethical concerns and risks associated with graduate students mentoringundergraduates due to the power differential that arises from the differences in their levels ofdevelopment and life experience.

The data collection and analysis for this research was consideredexempt by the school’s institutional review board, and all necessary protocols were followed forstudent data protections.Theoretical Framework: This activity is inspired by Nel Nodding’s theory of Ethics of Carewhere it is suggested that caring is a universal human attribute and caring is ethically basic tohumans [14]. This theory supports the message that educators are responsible for caring for theirstudents and believing in their success outside of the classroom [15]. The theory can beextended to say that the goal of an engineering educator is to ensure that engineering students areable to leave the degree program as not only successful engineers but also as successful

EHoM are internalized dispositions and ways of thinking that engineers draw uponwhen confronted with problems [4] and include things such as optimism, persistence,collaboration, creativity, systems thinking, and attention to ethical considerations [5].

It is worth noting the benefits of a busy out-of-classroom lifestyle, canalso be a detriment if time-management skills are challenged.

increased over time, these groups remain underrepresentedin engineering relative to the overall workforce, and this underrepresentation increases as level ofeducation increases (i.e., engineers with doctoral degrees are a less racially and ethnically diversegroup than those with bachelor’s degrees [1]). Increasing the diversity of engineers is importantbecause more diverse teams can produce more creative, innovative, and effective solutions toproblems [6, 8]. In addition, the background characteristics of engineers may impact the types ofproblems they examine and the populations that benefit from their work (e.g., [5]).
