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

offered in a lecture/discussion format, with all students completing the same set ofrequired assignments. The lecture consisted of guest speakers providing information aboutengineering departments, specific opportunities and the field more broadly. Despite beingpresented with information about the available learning experiences, enrolled students indicateda lack of confidence in making educational decisions [14]. In addition to the lecture, upper-levelstudents mentors led weekly discussions (15-25 students per discussion) on topics such asstrengths, identity and values, which are necessary to support the development of future plans[15] and thereby an integral component of experiential learning.In early 2020, we piloted a new model for the course

together.Once students arrived at a topic, they were then asked to perform a literature search and identifyrelevant prior work. 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

Students will also be asked to indicate towhat extent they attributed the gains that they reported to program participation. Questions arealso planned regarding activities that students participated in and the outcomes achieved. Thisdata will be analyzed to identify contest and benefit correlation and demographic characteristicsand benefit correlation.The paper discusses the value of contest participation and then presents planned future work.This includes a larger scale study and longitudinal tracking of current participants.2.

The work incorporates the four phases of DBR identified byKolmos [3]: design; implementation; data collection and analysis; and findings and conclusions.The DBR phases were adapted and combined with Andriessen’s [4] dual purpose of DBR modelas illustrated in Figure 1. The focus of the program design is progressive refinement through theproblem statement; defining the design and learning objectives; planning (project management)of the curricular design, development of the curricular ideation and selection of a design forinitial implementation; and ultimately a continuously

Foreach theme, information is presented that relates to the first three stages of the design thinkingprocess. The empathy stage is addressed through a discussion of specific issues shared byinterview and focus group participants, with appropriate connections to educational andcognitive theory. The issues are then distilled into a succinct problem statement. Each sectionends with a list of potential ways to address the problem statement, with proposed action stepsdrawn from the ideation phase of the study.
