Abstract :
The study presented here is a stepping stone for understanding the process of mentoring in undergraduate curricula with special emphasis in engineering schools. During data collection written documents on mentoring from several engineering schools were gathered. Besides, fax and e-mail messages, telephone conversations as well as direct discussions with some visiting faculty were considered. Three (3) engineering schools from USA and three (3) from Puerto Rico were taken into account. Hence the domain of data is very limited. Yet it gives some results.
