目的 本文的目的是探索一种新的指导和指导性网络范式，由美国国家科学基金会（15 - 7680）办公室在美国工程扩大参与。通过持续培训（IMPACT）计划增加少数民族在学术界的存在对代表性不足的少数民族（URM）教师与工程专业的emeriti教师进行职业指导。 设计/方法/方式 研究人员利用现象学的定性研究设计，探讨了三个领域的指导和辅导网络范式（职业发展，赞助和教练）的影响，通过参与者访谈的URM和emeriti教师。基于社会认知职业理论（SCCT）的访谈，深入了解了IMPACT参与者感知辅导体验价值的性质、意义和方式。 结果 现象学研究结果表明，学员认为IMPACT参与作为职业发展的一种手段，导师认为这是一个机会，"回馈"工程领域。两人都不相信文化或代沟会妨碍他们的导师关系，因为他们共同的学术兴趣将有助于弥合任何差距。 研究限制/影响 本文确定了新的问题有关的期望和利益的导师和学员谁是从事辅导关系。纵向方法将提供更深入的洞察辅导的关系持续一段时间。 独创性/价值 在这一阶段的证据表明，影响程序有可能通过列入经常被忽视的emeriti教师资源，以促进URM教师的职业发展。
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore a new mentoring and advocacy-networking paradigm sponsored by the National Science Foundation (15-7680) Office for Broadening Participation in Engineering in the USA. The Increasing Minority Presence within Academia through Continuous Training (IMPACT) program pairs underrepresented minority (URM) faculty with emeriti faculty in engineering for career mentorship. Design/methodology/approach Researchers utilized a phenomenological qualitative research design to explore the influence of the three domains of the mentoring and advocacy-networking paradigm (career development, sponsorship, and coaching) through participant interviews of URM and emeriti faculty. Interviews, grounded by Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), offered an in-depth understanding of the nature, meaning, and ways in which the IMPACT participants perceived the value of the mentoring experience. Findings Phenomenological findings suggest mentees viewed IMPACT participation as a means for career progression, and mentors saw it as an opportunity to “give back” to the engineering field. Neither believed cultural or generational gaps would hamper their mentoring relationships, as their shared academic interests would facilitate a bridge for any gaps. Research limitations/implications This paper identifies new questions related to the expectations and interests of both mentors and mentees who are engaged in a mentoring relationship. A longitudinal approach would offer deeper insight into mentoring as the relationship persists over time. Originality/value Evidence at this stage indicates that the IMPACT program has the potential to contribute to the career progression of URM faculty through the inclusion of an often overlooked resource of emeriti faculty.
