To gain a greaterunderstanding of mentoring, a subset of interviews from the SPRITE (Student Perspective onResearch Identity and Transformation of Epistemology) project, a larger research project aboutundergraduate students’ experience in research, were analyzed and coded in relation to the topicof mentoring. The larger project focused on the identities and epistemologies of undergraduateresearchers, but various data collection measures, allowed for information regarding mentorshipin undergraduate research to also be collected.

Professional engineering codes of ethics are then used to evaluateJoe's responsibilities with regard to the Bonfire.
