English abstract

E-Mentoring, electronic mentoring for tomorrow’s scientist, connects Historically Minority University (HMU) students and corporate scientists. E-Mentoring helps to prepare HMU students for a rewarding future and/or career not only in science but also quite possibly in technology. E-Mentoring introduces all participants to the world of technology, if they haven’t already been exposed to it. Students use e-mail and computer technology, often for the first time. Teachers get additional hands-on exposure to computers and web-based instructional software. Corporate scientists get the satisfaction of being mentors to tomorrow’s scientists, using technology on their desktop or in their homes. There are numerous items that need to be in place before E-Mentoring can occur. The first section of this report covers identifying participants and matching students and scientists. The next sections will pick up where this leaves off, in terms of pulling all the pieces together and making it work and be successful.
