Instructor Information:Stuart G. Walesh, Ph.D., P.E., F.NSPE, Dist.M.ASCE
Course Length: 1 Hour
Purpose and Background
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can seriously try to help another without helping himself.” Helping another person is the heart of mentoring. While informal mentoring may be preferred, it is rare within engineering and similar entities.
Accordingly, some organizations establish formal, usually volunteer mentoring programs. This one-hour webinar begins by explaining the fundamentals of mentoring. Mentoring is contrasted with other less intensive teaching-learning experiences. Tips are offered, as appropriate, to mentors and to protégés. Essentials of formal mentoring programs are explained and illustrated.
Participants receive a detailed handout on which the webinar will draw. The handout includes many and varied resources that can be used by employers and their personnel such as articles, books, e-newsletters, and websites.
