These factors havebeen found especially compounding in historically underrepresented groups in STEM fields, includingEngineering[3]. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) internship programs partner with nationallaboratories, principal investigators (PI’s), graduate mentors and STEM student groups to assess, explore andexamine science, technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics. Such a program is curatedintentionally to retain and increase the STEM workforce by addressing the challenges faced by STEM

Neurodivergent characteristics, such asattention to detail, creativity, and pattern recognition, align well with careers in STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), yet retention of neurodivergent students withinengineering programs is lower than neurotypical students [1]. Neurodivergent students whograduate or attempt to enter the workforce in a STEM discipline face bias and decreased successrates in job attainment after graduation [2].
