All national issues that emerge in American society sooneror later seem to surface on our campuses.The ABET accreditation process is a voluntary system that assures that graduates of an accreditedprogram are prepared for careers in engineering and technology. Engineering Education mustcontribute to the development of men and women who can face new and difficult engineeringsituations with imagination and competence [3]. The role played by ABET in standardizingengineering and technology education can not be denied. However, if it has fulfilled its statedobjectives is questionable.

Therefore, fostering math interest iscrucial for motivating individuals to pursue engineering careers and engage in engineeringlearning [9]. Moreover, interest plays a pivotal role in the development of a positive STEM self-concept [8]. When individuals have an interest in STEM, they are more likely to seek outinformation and opportunities to engage in STEM activities, further contributing to their self-concept [8]. Therefore, we expected math interest to impact course grades, even after accountingfor engineering self-efficacy.Math Self-Concept Math self-concept relates to an individual's self-perception of their competence

Our academic experiences (2 to 34 years) and ranks (assistant to fullprofessor) provided traditional mentor and step-ahead mentor. Traditional mentor is“similar to a wise and capable elder” and our library director served in that capacity.Step-ahead mentor is “analogous to a protective older sibling who smoothes the path forthe protégé.” Our group consisted of full-, associate-, and assistant professors, whorepresented hierarchical layers of academic careers, and were natural step-ahead mentors.However, being an all
