increasing the probability of pursuing graduate education[1]. Also, research experiences can provide increased self-efficacy. Due to the lack ofopportunities at a two-year institution, a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)Program purposefully recruited from a local community college. By recruiting from communitycollege students, we provide opportunities to underrepresented populations, women, and otherswhich can meet the demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)graduates for the United States to remain globally competitive [2].As global competitiveness increases, community colleges can also help to increase interest inSTEM careers, especially engineering. Through research experiences, community collegestudents are
