and national accrediting agencies are beginning to insist on formal training in ethics. Indeed, the Accredit- ing Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) now specifically requires training in ethics for all engineering undergraduates [emphasis added]. The Na- tional Institutes of Health requires formal ethics education for the graduate stu- dents funded by the NIH Training Grants Program. No doubt this focus on ethics in science and engineering fits into a broader debate about personal and social morals in general. This debate is strongly colored by what many perceive to be a steady erosion of moral standards throughout much of Western culture. Regardless of

, there is a growing body of research on undergraduate mentoring. However,few studies explore faculty mentoring processes in academic settings and none describe howfaculty mentoring networks are enacted in ways that advantage and disadvantage particulargroup members such as women in engineering.44 Our research expands the current literature by studying not only women faculty members’mentoring relationships but also women engineers’ developmental mentoring networkconfigurations. Furthermore, we explore an underresearched mentoring process known asepisodic or spontaneous mentoring and mentoring moments.1 As such, we contribute to much-needed empirical research on women in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and

enhancement in original or current technologies,materials and manufacturing processes. The objective of competitive assessment through reverseengineering is to understand and outdo the competition. In the Competitive AssessmentLaboratory at Rowan University, multidisciplinary teams of freshman engineering students fromeach of the four engineering disciplines perform competitive assessment on a consumerappliance (in this case, an electric toothbrush).The objectives of the Competitive Assessment Laboratory are as follows:1. Provide the launching pad for an innovative, four year design curriculum by introducing freshmen to the science and art of design by evaluating the work of practicing engineers.2. Introduce multidisciplinary groups of engineering
, technical writing and communication skills through collaborative laboratoryexperiments and teamwork. Professionalism and engineering ethics are also integrated throughout the laboratorymodules. Efforts are made to place female students in leadership roles or in well-balanced teams.The first semester is followed by a semester long project focussing on reverse engineering. This course subtitledCompetitive Assessment Laboratory, consists of a semester long project that introduces freshman engineeringstudents to reverse engineering of a consumer appliance. Reverse engineering helps in developing sufficientinformation about a (product) form and function to allow replication with or without enhancement in original orcurrent technologies, materials, and
technology. Students were given the freedom to paint their CO2cars any way they would like to help express their groups’ identity. Many students tookadvantage of this and painted their cars with flowers on it, racing stripes, anime characters, or tolook like the bat-mobile.
