AbstractAs engineering faculty, one of our core responsibilities is research. To be successful, you willneed to work with and mentor students, especially Ph.D. students. How should you find thesestudents, and once connected with them, how should you direct them? Unlike teaching, wheremyriad books and conferences can help you become a better teacher, there are few sources thatwill show you how to become a successful research mentor in any academic field, and fewer stillin the field of engineering. In this paper, three engineering professors with collectively morethan 100 years of experience on university faculties share their techniques, together with theadvice provided by more than a dozen highly successful faculty members and faculty developers.1
