3 Welcome Thank you for participating in the University of California, Riverside, Bourns College of Engineering s IMPACT mentoring program. Webster s New World Dictionary defines mentor as a person looked upon for wise advice and guidance. A mentor can play many roles including coach, teacher, advocate, friend, cheerleader, and opener of doors. Though a mentor may be a role model, a true mentor does not ask another person to be like me. A mentor says, I will help you be whoever you wish to be. A mentor is not a parent, a peer, or a counselor. As a top-tier college of engineering, our goal is to produce leaders in the engineering disciplines. We believe that mentoring by practicing engineers can be a key part of generating excitement among our students and enhancing their success. The core of IMPACT will be a team of industry professionals, each taking a small group of our undergraduates "under their wing", as it were, meeting with them once or twice a term, and serving as mentors. This arrangement is one of mutual benefit. Our students will benefit professionally from this mentoring, and in turn, industry will have the opportunity to meet and work closely with some of the brightest engineering students in the nation. Above all, mentoring is about listening without negative judgment and questioning with respect. Remember to enjoy your mentoring relationship and to keep an open mind. If you have any questions or suggestions about this program, please feel free to contact me, at junwang@engr.ucr.edu, or at (951) Jun Wang Professional Development Officer 2

14 Questions to Ask a Mentor Job Description What is your job title? What is your typical day on the job? What percentage of each day do you spend in various work activities? What is the title of the person to whom your report? How free are you to do your work independently? What types of problems are you likely to face during the day? What are the most satisfying and the most frustrating parts of your work? Advancement How did you get to your current position? What are the future trends and developments that you are see affecting careers in your field? Preparation How did you prepare for this occupation? What preparation do you recommend for a person entering this occupation? What education/degrees/training/licenses are required? What are the best places to go for additional education or training for a position like yours? If you could start all over again in launching your career, what steps would you take? What courses do you recommend taking for this occupation? Life Style What hours do you normally work? Is overtime common? Is travel a factor in this job? What are the professional organizations in this field? How do these organizations serve their members? What are the pressures that you face? How does this occupation affect your private life? What is expected of you outside of working hours? Is there a formal mentor program set up in your workplace? Who was/is your mentor? 13
15 What is Networking? Your main networking goal is to create mutually supportive professional relationships. In that regard, networking in a mentoring relationship can benefit both partners. You never know where career help may come from or what form it may take, and the mentoring relationship provides both partners with an opportunity to expand their networks. Mentors and mentees should assess their current networks at the start of the mentoring relationship and use the following information to further develop their networking: Benefits Information A network is your conduit to the kind of information you need to advance your career, or to discover creative career possibilities. Referrals Sometimes the best information is knowing who to call. Feedback A network helps you check out your behavior, your ideas, and your strategies for success before you risk them in the real world. Topics of Discussion in Networking Career Information Ask for information about the career field, but don t ask for a job or internship. However, sometimes the information will lead you in that direction. Common Interests Consciously look for common ground, professional interests, and attitudes. This requires that you share a little of yourself. Accomplishments Learn to talk comfortably about your own accomplishments. DOs of Networking Do try to give as much as you get. Do report back (Did you follow their advice? What happened?) Do follow up all referrals. Do be businesslike. Be prompt, respect other s schedule. Do keep in touch with your old networks. Do call members of your network to function as a placement office. Do call members of your network for no reason at all. Keeping in touch is a reason. Do ask questions for which you really need the answers; not for things you easily could have looked up yourself. Do keep expanding your network. Costs Time Networking takes a lot of time; time for getting-to-know-you conversations, scheduling meeting, and renewing contacts. Tracking Your Network Keep records of contacts Notes with brief information about each, referrals they may have made, promises you made to provide information, etc. What Not to Discuss Criticisms Do not talk about other professionals or previous colleagues in a critical manner. The only exception is when you are specifically asked to give your opinion of someone and you are absolutely sure that your opinion will be kept confidential. Family/Personal matters This is a professional network; know the boundaries. Gossip Don t violate professional confidences or abuse inside information. DON Ts of Networking Don t be afraid to ask for what you need. Don t pass up any opportunities to network they can happen in the most unlikely places. Don t expect your network to function as a placement office. Don t be discouraged if someone brushes you off. It happens and usually has nothing to do with you. 14
16 Frequently Asked Questions Is there a fee associated with becoming a mentee? No. However, you have to be a current Bourns College Engineering student. How much time will the program take? In order for the program to be of maximum benefit to both mentee and mentor alike, we strongly encourages pairs to spend once or twice together each quarter over the academic year program cycle. What are the expectations of mentees? Mentees are expected to take the initiative in driving the mentoring relationship. Although mentoring is a two-way street, the primary responsibility of maintaining contact and scheduling meetings lies with the mentee. It is also the mentee s duty to work with the mentor to establish clear expectations and goals for the mentoring relationship. You should: Set clear goals and expectations Initiate meetings/conversations Develop topics to discuss Identify areas for development Honor commitment to the program What can mentees expect from the Program? Although this is NOT a structured program to facilitate or guarantee promotion or career change, the program provides an opportunity for mentoring pairs to work together to plan career advancement strategies. What if I know someone I d like to be matched with? Mentees have their dream mentor, please indicate your suggested mentors to us on your application of who you would like to be matched. The program committee doesn t absolutely guarantee the match, since it has to consider the needs of the cohort and availability of perspective mentors but will do its best to accommodate you or find you the best match to meet your needs and your career goals. What will my mentor do for me? The mentor is a confidant and is prohibited from advocating for mentees, or offering any assistance that goes beyond the networking and advice they would offer anyone else. It is up to the mentee to take the initiative and make a success of themselves. Mentors offer information, support, feedback, contacts, and ideas but the mentee has to take it from there. Mentors are specifically prohibited from meeting with a mentees manager or attempt to recruit the mentee to 15
17 their respective company during their participation in the program. The Mentorship Program is not a mobility program structured to get you a promotion or anything else that you do not work for yourself. How many people can participate? We will accept 3 mentees per mentor base on the number of participating mentors per cycle. How is the matching done? The program staff will review all mentees applications, and match what the mentor has said they can offer, and what the mentee has said they are looking for. No match is final until the pairs have has a chance to meet and or discuss and they both complete the Mentor Program Collaboration Agreement. This will ensure that everyone starts the program with a match they feel enthusiastic about. How do mentors benefit from the Program? Along with the satisfaction of helping someone else achieve their career goals, mentors learn to see the world from a different perspective, become aware of their own paths and values, and often go through a reflection process similar to that of their mentee s. As they help their mentee evaluate their career goals, mentors often find themselves doing the same as well. In the process of being a mentor, many find that it is so valuable that they seek mentors informally for themselves, or reach out to their employees in a new way. What if I m not comfortable with my proposed mentor/mentee? Please tell us! The purpose of your first meeting is to see whether the two of you are compatible, and the match isn t final until you have both approved it. The program staff will be checking in with you periodically to see how your relationship is going, and whether you are moving toward the goals you set. Tell us frankly if things aren t working the way you had hoped. If you haven t already talked directly with your partner, do so. Often, it will be a question of miscommunication which can be cleared up. How do you develop a Productive Mentoring Relationship? In to benefit from the mentoring program, participants must learn to trust and depend on each other. Mentee s and mentors must be able to work together to form a successful partnership. The following are key elements to forming a successful partnership: Trust Confidentiality Open communication Mutual respect Honesty 16
