students would beblock scheduled typically by an administrative assistant based on test scores and placement tests,and then the faculty advisor would meet with the student once a semester for the rest of thestudent’s academic career to advisee the student on the next semesters courses. This is a fairlystandard model that is used at many different institutions and is one that allows for one on onepersonal interactions with the student and minimizes the workload on the faculty advisor.However, in order to address the issues of mechanical engineering student retention, recruitment,and the initial math placement of these students the new active and structured advising modelwas created as seen in Fig. 1.

The Facilitated Peer MentorCircles program was an adaptation from other universities (Gilfoyle et al., 2011; Thomas et al.,2015; Li et al., 2023). A novel adaptation was the hiring of a Faculty Development Coordinator(FDC) to facilitate all circles to: (1) Top-down support and commitment for continuity; (2)Creating psychological safety through respect for everyone and confidentiality; (3)Responsiveness to individual career needs/paths; (4) Seeking input to tailor offerings for success;and (5) Collecting feedback/offering aggregated, bottoms-up input to

Altogether, the vast and lasting effect of faculty advising on their graduate students'overall educational experience and success suggests that it is an area where servingness might beboth cultivated and prioritized at HSIs.While the focus on measurable performance outcomes such as persistence and graduation ratesare both relevant and informative, other non-academic dimensions of the graduate studentexperience also deserve attention.

Despite thebenefits of participating in research, not all students have the time or opportunity to experienceworking in a research lab during their undergraduate careers. In comparison, all students willparticipate in classes as part of their engineering majors, and thus it is important to alsounderstand how class experiences may impact student curiosity and learning. In the current study, we utilized a qualitative interview and survey to investigateundergraduate engineering students’ experiences with curiosity in class and research settings.

Why?) and more open-ended questions thatchallenged students to think about real-world applications of bioadhesives. After the guideddiscussion, students were encouraged to ask any questions they had about the activity,bioadhesives, and careers in STEM.

In doing so, fourinductive codes were generated by the researcher while reading and sorting the data: academics,path uncertainty, personal and social struggles, and time balance. The “academics” code wasused to label any struggles related to coursework, such as low grades, dropping courses, or poorstudy habits. The “path uncertainty” code broadly labels any lack of clarity in students’ academicor career trajectory in engineering, such as being unsure about their major or having troublefinding an

IntroductionThe engineering education community recognizes the lack of diversity in the field and is activelyworking to break down barriers that inhibit the participation of women and minoritized racial andethnic groups in engineering education and engineering careers. Despite these ongoing efforts,engineering enrollment is below optimal levels and there continues to be an overall lack ofwomen and students from minoritized racial and ethnic groups within engineering fields (Daviset al., 2012). For example, over the past five years, engineering degrees were earned by studentsfrom
