bring students from across the country to auniversity campus for the summer. These students learn how to conduct real research in theirdiscipline by actually doing it, under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Many students whoparticipate in REU programs remember these programs long after the program is complete. TheREU experience of working with a faculty mentor on bona fide research is undoubtedly key tothe educational and career planning benefits that students enjoy. The best REU experiencestypically don’t happen by accident. They must be deliberately planned. Despite the importanceof this component of REU programs, minimal literature related REU social programs exists.This paper considers what makes a strong REU social program.1

efforts related to the Student Experiential Education(SEE) Initiative in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of ColoradoBoulder. The SEE Initiative was founded in Spring 2018 and is currently in its first year ofimplementation. The initiative aims to more effectively integrate professional insights andindustry-related connections throughout students’ experience in the department.The SEE Initiative approaches the goal of increased industry/academia integration from twoangles. The first approach focuses on finding opportunities to ​pull​ ​industry into education. Thisapproach includes hosting alumni panels in core classes, using alumni/industry volunteers forrequired student informational interviews, planning networking

The focus of theresearch design is to establish the research questions; identify the learning theories applicable tothe research work; design of the research work that influences the curricular implementation andimprovement; and ultimately to disseminate what is learned and add to the body of knowledgeon engineering

In particular, they were asked to determine whether their research questionhad already been answered (and, if so, how conclusively). They were also asked to identify themost relevant reference material from the prior work that is most closely related to their area ofresearch.Once the topic was refined through the literature search, student participants were asked todevelop a project plan, working with their faculty mentor. In most cases, these plans involvedthe development of a software system and its use for data collection to answer a researchquestion. A few relied upon existing systems and presented configuration and data
