“…Focusing on the mentor, Johnson (2003), conceptualised the mentor's competence to mentor as a function of mentor character virtues, abilities, aptitudes and competencies (knowledge and skill). Other elements of the framework are mentee-mentor-organisational or institutional benefits, and a definition for mentoring.…”

“…Only two of the frameworks studied provided a definition of mentoring (Anderson & Shannon, 1988;Johnson, 2003). However, one of the key challenges about mentoring research is the lack of a generally accepted definition of mentoring (Jacobi, 1991;Crisp & Cruz, 2009).…”

Mentoring research is recent and multidisciplinary and is found in mostly English speaking cultural contexts. The purpose of this study is to describe a fifty-year old mentoring practice involving faculty-mentors and engineering student-mentees, at the school of engineering of a Spanish university, a non-English speaking context. Mentoring is part of the process of developing the career of the engineering students. For this description, we first developed a more complete conceptual framework of mentoring from literature, identifying the key elements or components. The description of each element in the mentoring practice at the study setting was obtained from archival documents, records, observations and interviews of faculty-mentors and student-mentees. The usefulness of the framework is thereby tested and areas for improvement of the mentoring practice are identified. In addition, this study extends mentoring research into the Spanish speaking European culture and highlights a mentoring experience that could be replicated in other universities. We provide a definition of mentoring that is based on the mentoring experience and practice at the institution given the lack of a generally accepted definition of mentoring.

“…They all emphasize the aspect of personalized advice, relationship. Going one step ahead Friendship (Kram, 1985) and honest self-disclosure (Boyle & Boice, 1998;Johnson, 2003) have been identified as significant mentor functions. As a matter of fact, all these things are the practices that are involved right from the beginning of the doctoral program, at all levels of the research work.…”

Research activity should be carried out with utmost care, dedication, and involvement. It is here where mentoring of doctoral students by the research supervisor or guide comes into picture irrespective of the social background of the student. Objectives of the study: 1)To share the experiences regarding the supervision work of Doctoral research, 2) To identify the problems of the Doctoral students, where mentoring is needed, and 3) To suggest solutions for the problems related to mentoring of Doctoral students. The scope of the study is confined to Indian experience. Methodology and analysis: The study employed empirical methods. The data was jotted down from the research and guidance experience of the author for the past 20 years. For this study, 10 aspects were identified against which the student behavior and mentoring needs were assessed. Results of the study: There are considerable instances of misunderstanding on the part of the students, almost a majority of them do not get inclined to do collaborative research on the other hand some of the students turn out to be dropouts and do not bother to continue relation with the Department or the supervisor. The study also suggests some solutions for better mentoring process.
