This article aims to present an industrial internship mentoring model for undergraduate industrial engineering education in publicuniversities. The study proposed that the constructs of ‘‘mentoring’’ and ‘‘industrial engineering education’’ can be combined in order to develop a model for teaching. Its reliability has been confirmed by Cronbach’scoefficient test, whereas the statisticalhypothesis test has confirmed the validity of the model according to the opinion of 52 pairs of mentors and mentees participatingin this applied research with a qualitative methodological approach using a combination of case study and survey. Regardingresults, 85% of mentees stated that the model had made a significant positive difference during their internship period, whilementors confirmed that 98% of mentees developed industrial engineering skills and abilities. Thus, the model relies on a detailedprocedure about the content that should be assessed in each phase. Its major contribution lies in its pioneering role in developingan industrial internship mentoring model for industrial engineering education and in bringing universities and industries closertogether during internship periods.
