REU programs aredesigned to give undergraduate students a taste of the research environment to allow them todetermine if they might wish to pursue graduate education and an eventual career in scientificresearch. In computing, some are able to pursue research careers directly after undergraduategraduation, so REU participation can also draw students towards these career opportunities aswell. REU programs seek to empower participants to take a leadership role, similar to that ofgraduate students and professional researchers.As part of the North Dakota State University (NDSU) REU on cyber-physical systemscybersecurity, students each took the lead in their own research project.

In short, you must write and speak clearly and convincingly and be able to listen well and deal tactfully with the concerns of others (emphasis added).” [4]The American Statistical Association similarly identifies the “ability to communicate” in itsonline curricular guide [5], and the Mathematical Society of America, in its 2015 CUPMCurriculum Guide to Majors in Mathematical

Another goal is to attract students from community colleges to STEMprograms at 4-year institutions and encourage the participants to pursue their studies for graduatedegrees.This paper discusses the assessment of the Program after the second year of the Program. The REUsite has been successful in meeting its goals and objectives. Most of the participants are nowpursuing their educational or professional career in the area of UAVs and other related areas.

Ourthreads of learning approach allows faculty to teach ethical decision making in courses nottraditionally associated with ethics and provides students a more continuous exposure to ethicaldecision making. Students are introduced to the Civil Engineering Ethics Thread (CEET) at thevery start of their academic career during fall quarter of freshman year. Students are given a briefintroduction to the concept of the ethical thread of learning. At that time, they also complete apersonality assessment, as well as a survey to rate their perception of what is ethical when given avariety of scenarios, to identify their own set of personal values. At the end of the quarter, thesurvey results are revealed to students for the purpose of

Students who engaged in pre-college engineering hobbies showedsignificant gains in self-efficacy [11].In this work-in-progress paper, we investigate students’ self-efficacy through their statements inan informal interview context. Self-efficacy is generally assessed through self-report measures.Surveys are most common, but interviews are also an established and useful method for self-efficacy and related constructs [12].Our research question is an exploratory one: what are the forms of self-efficacy in making thatstudents develop and express during
