alumni (7.5%) have pursued other advanced degrees: Law, Pharmacy,Dentistry and Business. Overall, 74.7% of alumni pursued/are pursuing an advanced degree.The remaining REU alumni are either working in industry (22.6%) or K-12 teachers (2.7%). Inthis work we will provide a more comprehensive analysis of the results from the longitudinalassessment of the program.Introduction Undergraduate research has been identified as an educational practice that directlyaddresses challenges facing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)education1, 7, 8. Specifically, engaging undergraduates in research is expected to increase interestin careers in STEM, improve retention of undergraduates in STEM fields and increase thenumber of people

given the growingscope of the challenges ahead and the complexity and diversity of the technologies of the 21 stcentury, creativity will grow in importance” (p. 55).1 However, creativity is not typicallyemphasized in the traditional engineering curriculum and, rather, is relegated to design coursesor entrepreneurship minors. Few core technical courses incorporate elements that requirestudents to demonstrate aspects of the creative process in their assigned work. In fact, researchhas shown that both faculty and students feel that creativity, “is not valued in contemporaryengineering education” (p. 762).2This lack of focus on the creative process in the engineering curriculum has been hypothesized tobe a factor in the retention of engineering
