When deciding on joining aprogram, students and advisors can reflect on their styles and determine if theworking relationship would be beneficial.6.1 Engineering EducationIt should be noted that there are no, to the authors’ knowledge, specific studieson graduate student well-being as it relates to engineering and engineering-technology programs. However, STEM students commonly have to interfacewith their advisors more than non-STEM students due to the nature of howSTEM research projects are developed and managed. Often, advisors have spe-cific projects and grants that they must fulfill and the graduate students areassisting with those goals. This requires more communication
