The term “mentor” comesfrom the Greek poet Homer, in which Odysseus in The Odyssey selected “a trusted friend,Mentor, to educate, tutor, protect, and guide his son” (p. 66) 17. Professional mentoringoriginates in teaching, medical, and clinical practices 18,19. The meaning of the word “mentor”can have multiple contextual meanings such as “teacher”, “counselor”, or “advisor” relative tocorporate and educational environments.

study is to compare the attitudes and practices regarding ethics ofundergraduate engineering students from three different institutions, and also against thosereflected by national surveys. For this study, a survey was written and delivered to undergraduateengineering students at three different institutions regarding their perception of ethics at schooland in the workplace, along with specific ethical behaviors during their college careers. Thesurvey was conducted anonymously; thus, the survey data is only available en masse for eachschool population polled. Results from this study found that high numbers of students, nearly50% to over 90%, of students have done, considered and know others who have engaged inunethical behaviors, especially at

However,many students who enroll in non-STEM programs may experience science anxiety, decreasingtheir confidence to succeed in STEM courses. The root of this anxiety may stem from myriadsources, from poor experiences in middle or high school STEM classes to anxiety arising fromsocietal barriers due to the different identities a student may hold.Yet, Udo et al. found that enrolling students in an interactive, introductory physics coursedecreased science anxiety for non-STEM majors [1].
