that many students’ passions (humanitarian work, justice, andenvironmental topics) directly relate to engineering and that their institutions can improve bymaking those connections. Our project differs slightly in that our effort is not to integrate theirpassions into their engineering coursework but to find ways of igniting their curiosity and passionin their liberal arts general education.Education is an endeavor in instrumentalism at the individual level (career attainment) and liberationat the societal level (ideological exploration). Liberty, freedom, and intellectual agility are commongoods requiring sound judgment; sound judgment requires breadth of understanding and curiosity.This work attempts to understand curiosity among first-year

Despite this description ofwhat STEMM mentoring relationships should entail, some mentors do not consider thepsychosocial support of graduate students their responsibility [16]. This lack of engagement inpsychosocial support can influence the self-awareness of the mentor and the mentee, which tendsto show up in the form of (mis)communication between the mentor and mentee.
