Thus, wewould like to invite you to collaborate with us on this NSF project in our pursuit ofdeveloping a framework to retain more minority engineers in particular, and workingtowards a common, shared goal of improving engineering education in general.IV.

critical factor in positive tenure outcomes. The interviews used for this paper revealed aneed for both mentors and mentees to re-examine their roles. While mentees need to seek outappropriate mentors and develop that relationship, mentors must become more aware of the needsof new faculty and the benefits of assisting them in their adjustment to university positions.Further study could compare official and unofficial mentoring systems as well as universityincentives for mentoring. Ultimately, these relationships when optimized benefit not only thementor and mentee, but also the university at large as their faculty begin collaborating,cooperating, and communicating invincibly.References[1] Anon., “Women Engineers: Why So Few?”, J.
