Most UPRM students completed two terms inthe REU program, one in the summer and the other one either in the spring or fall semester.Students from US-based institutions completed only the summer term in the program, which isstrictly the term of the REU program on which we are focusing in this work. Nonetheless, bothlocal students and students from US-based institutions were sponsored to present their researchprojects at conferences such as the Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference(ISERC), INFORMS Annual Meeting, and Great Minds in STEM.
