andwriting in multiple mediums and interacting around physical tools and artifacts23, 24, 25 in serviceof design goals.Thus, our model distinguishes communicating with others about your work, communicatingabout other’s work (such as offering), and reading the research literature. Engineers mustcommunicate about their own work and its value accurately, clearly, and succinctly to multipleaudiences26 . Not only must engineering apprentices learn to “speak like engineers” in the lab22,they must also learn to write like scientists outside of the lab, communicating discipline-specificideas to knowledgeable industry members, customers, community stakeholders, and engineersfrom a diverse range of disciplines, translating across a wide set of semiotic

between abstract concepts and the practice of their profession [30].The benefits of professional practice in the undergraduate educational experience are numerous.Students that get to view and participate in activities typical of those within their professionduring their collegiate years are retained in school at higher rates than those who do not getsimilar experiences [31]. More maturity, a greater independence of thought and action, and awell-developed sense of responsibility have all been noted in professional practice studentsrelative to their non-participating peers [32]. Dressler & Keeling [33] suggest that a deeperanalysis of the extent of student learning through professional practice includes: an increase indisciplined thinking; an

, of course, not the only ways of providing cybersecurity education. Studieshave previously assessed the efficacy of using techniques such as peer mentoring [25], peerinstruction [26], games [27] and competitions [28] to teach cybersecurity knowledge and skills.3. Program Description & Changes from Year OneThe NDSU REU program has a number of components. Students first select a topic. Duringyear one, students were asked to brainstorm topics, in conjunction with their research mentor.For year 2, faculty were asked to identify areas of research interest. Students were then pairedwith faculty mentors based on the topics that they indicated interest in. The student and thefaculty mentor were then asked to further refine the topic, working

of stipend provided,comparing research topics at the different institutions and by the dates that they receive theiroffers on.All REU sites provide students with hands-on research opportunities with faculty mentorship [1].Most sites offer a variety of research training programs and technical seminars (e.g., [2]) andtraining in technical writing (e.g., [5]). Sites are also required to offer training in research ethics[1]. Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2

Anengaging social climate that fosters positive interactions among peers and faculty can help [29].Students’ sense of belonging, in turn, influences their motivation and achievement in STEM[30]. Individuals who develop a strong sense of belonging in a particular group have awarenessof implicit and explicit expectations or cultural-historical “repertoires of practice” that influencesocial interactions, social roles and social norms within that group [31]. Making connectionswithin social networks and accruing different forms of “social capital” [32] valued by groupmembers is accomplished through positive social interactions with existing group

February 2020 the World Economic Forum published its report on the characteristics ofEducation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, of which several stand out for their relevantimpact on engineering programs. These are: (i) Global citizenship, building awareness aboutthe wider world and playing an active role in the global community; (ii) Collaborativelearning, requiring peer collaboration and a move to project- and problem-based content thatmore closely mirrors their future work; (iii) Innovation and creativity skills, includingcomplex problem-solving and analytical thinking.In March 2020, the emergence of COVID-19 forced educational institutions to abruptly adoptsocial distancing and quarantine measures, making compliance with the

for them. Even if they don’t get feedback from employers, there are peer advisors, faculty, staff, and alumni who are happy to work with them to provide input and support throughout their search.Theme 2: Finding the Right OptionsMany students reported that they chose Mechanical Engineering because of the breadth ofopportunities that it presented, then struggled to identify the opportunities that would be mostrelevant or most interesting to them. That issue was compounded by both the hidden job market(i.e.: small companies often don’t post and promote positions in the same way large companiesdo) and the lack of specificity in job postings, with second and third-year engineering studentsoften not having the base of knowledge yet to
