the complex professional environment.Engineers interface daily with non-technical peers - clients, managers, directors, executives,stakeholders, government or policy makers, marketing, etc. - and thus an even greater need todemonstrate an excellent ability of communicating their ideas (Norback et al., 2009).The changes made as a result of ABET EC2000 promoted greater curricular emphasis on oraland written communication skills within engineering education (National Academies, 2018).Although many engineering faculty cited a lack of incentives existing, more than two thirds wereinvolved in teaching professional skills across diverse engineering coursework (NationalAcademies, 2018). While great strides have been made in the last two decades of

, writing, andcommunication skills that are vital to successful careers in science and engineering [29].Student participation in REU programs was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and raisedconcerns related to REU learning outcomes. Several REU programs over the past few years wereheld remotely or virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on the impacts of virtual orremote REU programs is limited. One study by Nyarko and colleagues highlighted how, despitechallenges encountered during a virtual REU, students demonstrated gains in knowledge,confidence, and communication skills [30]. Even as many REUs return to in-person experiences,research into the impacts of virtual or remote REUSs can be useful as developers and hosts ofREUs and other

their own surveys [10] - [12]. Instructors with large classsizes have turned to software assessment tools to measure the teamwork skills of individuals andthe roles within the teams. For example, CATME and TeamUP provide a survey to gather selfand peer evaluations from individual team members as well as instructors [13],[14]. For thestudy presented below, it was necessary to create a customized assessment tool to determine howindividuals fill functional or task-oriented roles in their teams and the impact of that process ontheir engagement and course experience.ContextIPPD is an educational capstone design program where students from thirteen engineering andcomputer science programs work in multidisciplinary teams for two semesters in designing

from both supportivefaculty and peers (p. 879).Professional IdentityAccording to Chickering and Reisser, a foundational component of one’s overall identity iscompetence, most relevantly captured here in one’s professional identity [19]. The Communityof Practice (COP) [20] model is a widely adopted framework in the professional identityliterature that has been useful in understanding engineering identity (e.g., [21-23]). TheCommunity of Practice model consists of members of a professional community who surround acore of practicing experts. Belonging in this community is experienced through three modalities:imagination (i.e., how can I see myself as a member?), engagement (i.e., how can I participate inthis community?), and alignment (i.e., how
