Engineering Mentors Attitude/Role Towards Their NEM Counterparts
I've been mentoring the Killer Bees for about 5 solid years now (before that I was sort of a junior mentor and a student on the team). I have my degree in English, and my mentoring role can best be described by the nickname that my students call me: Mom. I also head up the Chairman's submission effort, and handle other marketing areas.
I love "my" engineers, and have a unique relationship with them, as I'm younger than they are (which has created a bit of a "little sister/big brother" relationship between us) and am one of the main NEMs on the team, but enjoy being a part of the design/robot process as well. I'm sure that other team's mentors have unique relationships with each other.
I'm curious:
What is the attitude of the Engineer/Mechanical mentors towards the Non-Engineering Mentors (NEMs) on their team?
Vice versa?
What is the student attitude towards the NEMs on your team? How does it differ from their attitude towards the Engineering/Mechanical mentors?

p.s. note that 5-1/2 hours in the car with your daughter on the way to IRI is NOT the same as 10 hours in the van with seven members of Team 116 on the way to IRI. One is a wonderful familial experience, the other is an opportunity to go insane. - dlavery [more]
