Despite thebenefits of mentoring, there are few formal mentoring programs within higher educationinstitutions and sparse literature on the best practices for implementing mentorship programs incolleges of engineering. The purpose of this paper is to share the process of creating the “MasterMentor Model” initiative within an engineering college at a large, southwestern institution. TheMaster Mentor Model is currently being co-constructed collaboratively with input byengineering administration (dean and vice-deans), seven “master mentors” who represent theirmain academic units in the college, and several staff members.

It focuses on how the constituent parts of a system pertain to the whole system and theway the systems work within larger systems over time. This holistic approach contrasts with thetraditional analysis whose aim is to study the individual pieces of a system separately. Bloom etal. [2] and Anderson et al.

Bloom’s taxonomy was revised later byAnderson and his colleagues to fit modern education objectives. Stave and Hopper [4] and Hopperand Stave [5] offered a system parallel to Bloom’s taxonomy of
