In this manuscript, we present themotivations, observations, and lessons learned during a recent instructor-in-training mentoring experience,described from both the mentor’s and the trainee’s perspective. Where appropriate, the students’ perspectivehas been included also.Motivation Trainee’s Perspective When I made the decision to pursue my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, it wasa choice motivated in large part by a desire to teach. Past experience with tutoring had shown me that I trulyenjoyed helping people learn. It felt great when I knew I had made a connection and that the student

the success of researchers in academic 2settings . We believe that in an undergraduate level, it is not realistic to expect many of ourstudents to pursue advanced academic careers. Quite to the contrary, it is our conviction that amajority of undergraduate students perceive their undergraduate degrees as intermediary stepstoward a career in the industry. As a consequence, we decided to base the skills our students needto succeed on the requirements of the engineering industry. Valuable skills sought after incandidates for industry jobs are strong communication skills (oral, written, and computer),problem solving and critical thinking skills, an ability to manage and make sense of large amountsof data and information, and an ability to

inhibited or will not occur if the capacity of the learner’s workingmemory is exceeded, that is, if the “cognitive load” is too great.7. Technical subjects such as engineering often are intrinsically difficult and impose anintrinsic cognitive load on the learner. In contrast, extraneous cognitive load, that is,cognitive load resulting from activities that are extraneous to schema acquisition isavoidable and should be minimized through proper design of instructional materials—such as, for example, worked examples.8. Novices attempting to learn by practicing problem solving experience a heavyextraneous cognitive load because they are engaged in a goal-attainment activity ratherthan a learning activity. The goal-attainment activity consists of
