Advisor, Teacher,
Role Model, Friend: On Being a Mentor to Students
in Science and Engineering

This guide—intended for faculty members, teachers, administrators,
and others who advise and mentor students of science and engineering—attempts
to summarize features that are common to successful mentoring relationships.
Its goal is to encourage mentoring habits that are in the best interests
of both parties to the relationship. While this guide is meant for
mentoring students in science and engineering the majority of it
is widely applicable to mentoring in any field.
