QualificationsThe primary qualifications desired of a mentor are that they be a licensed land surveyor,an active member of a state Association of Surveyors, be located within a reasonablegeographic proximity to the distance student’s locale, and be willing to make the requisitetime and resources available to the student. In addition, there are a variety of otherservices the mentor can provide to the student.Licensure is desired because it indicates that the mentoring individual has successfuldisplayed the knowledge required to perform surveying work at a professional level.Licensure in good standing is also an indication of integrity and ethical behavior in theconduct of business.

To agreat extent, the problem or vision statement is also already defined. In general, the goal is toeducate individuals to be competent and ethical engineers. There is variation in the type ofengineer being produced – electrical, chemical, biomedical – leading to a correspondingvariation in the vision or problem statement and there can be slight variations in the exact natureof the mission – engineers primarily for industry vs. research oriented practitioners – but

He thenworks to define engineering through the ethical considerations of the profession. Additionally,to define engineering, he differentiates it from science. In a workshop given to scientists andengineers, he asked whether they would rather “invent something useful” or “discover newknowledge” 16. The scientists had a hard time answering and ended up split in their decision,while all of the engineers chose something useful. Therefore, he claims, “The primarycommitment of engineers is not to knowledge, theoretical or applied, as one would expect ofscientists, but to human welfare” 17. He concludes that engineers believe they are
