Student success can be directly linked topreparation for classes including the reading of assigned chapters in a textbook, taking lecturenotes, reviewing classroom materials and frequent attendance. A common problem at manyhigher education institutions is that students from impoverished backgrounds have limitedfunding and frequently do not purchase textbooks or other supplemental material due to the needfor the allocation of limited finances to more pressing things. Indiana State University has a highpercentage of students from impoverished backgrounds with 50 percent of the currently enrolledstudents receiving Federal Pell Grants [1].

This paper presents the REU program atNorth Dakota State University during the summer of 2020 and its assessment. An overview ofthe program, as it ran in 2020, is provided. This is compared to the way the program operated inprior years as an onsite program. Specific changes that were made and their impact on theequivalency of the program to prior years are discussed. The approach used is presented as amodel for potential use by other programs in the future.1

Addressing these variables iscritical for developing effective STEM education programs. Many previous studies demonstrated benefits of intensive mentoring with at-risk students[1-3].

[1]. Because design problems arenot linear like more canonical problems, design problems must be framed and reframed by thedesigner throughout the process to achieve success. Problem framing is endemic to design [2]and involves both understanding and defining the scope of the problem. The process of problemframing is consequential not only for the problem itself (effecting the resulting design bydeciding what is important or must be focused on) but for the designer personally, as thedesigner learns and interprets information based on their experience [3]. Thus problem framingincludes agency, or the ability and empowerment to make decisions.The ability to make decisions within a problem is bounded by the opportunity structure [4],which
