Abstract | CONTEXT: The participation rate of female students in the fields of engineering is disappointingly low. Mentoring is suggested as an effective mechanism in improving female participation in engineering through changing attitudes towards engineering. The work of Woelfel and Haller (1971) outlined by Sjaastad (2012) defines attitude as the relationship between the individuals concept of self and that of the object. This paper explores how mentors influence the concept of self and the concept of the object. |
