Abstract

Mentoring relationships have long been viewed as essential to encourage the career development of engineering and technology students. The purpose of this article is to examine and analyze the concepts of shared power, self-directed learning, critical reflection, and potential for transformative learning in mentoring models and programs, exploring research and models that reflect these concepts in their program design and “curriculum” for mentoring. The article concludes with an analysis of mentoring models and suggestions for future research and practice for mentoring in higher educational institutions engineering and technology programs that may lead to active and transformative learning among mentors and protégés in these programs.
