We have an intern I'm struggling with. He grasps process well enough. "Do this and then that and then record the output." What he doesn't get is the feedback loop of understanding the output and using it to change the input. Engineering isn't process, it's more trial and error. I find it frustrating not for him but for myself. I can't figure out where I'm failing as a mentor. I can't really believe he can't get it, and since he isn't getting it, there must be something I'm not explaining. Communication failures work both ways. What am I not doing right? It's also exhausting, trying to find new ways to explain the same concepts again.
