supported research programs, called ResearchExperiences for Undergraduates (REU), as a means of attracting undergraduate students intograduate education and research. Through REU at a university, undergraduate participants havean opportunity to integrate into research groups and thereby, increase their awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields. However, NSF funds only support United States (US) citizens and permanent residentstudents from institutions that may not have particular graduate programs.During the summers of 2017 and 2018, a Southwestern public research university in the UnitedStates had an opportunity to host an NSF REU program for national undergraduate students

IntroductionFuture economic development and security in our knowledge-driven global community relies onengineers in industry, academia, and government who have the technical skill, knowledge,vision, and expertise to identify and solve real-world problems and connect scientific knowledgeand theory to technological advances1. These qualities are learned and developed througheducation and real-world professional experiences and consist of a strong theoretical backgroundas well as rigorous research and problem solving skills. Engineering students who have spenttime working as engineering practitioners prior to pursuing a PhD, a group we refer to asreturners, can bring this combination of experiences and

. If a practicing engineer is unsuccessful at obtainingacademic job placement, the opportunities in industry are limited as well. Because theengineer has been in academics for 4 to 5 years, technology has changed. Returning evento the same caliber position that an engineer left may be impossible, for few companiesare likely to hire an engineer with a Ph.D. for non-research or supervisory positions.When corporations face rough times, the advanced research organizations which employPhDs are often the first areas to be cut, resulting in unemployment. Thus, manygraduating Ph.D.s face the prospect of underemployment12.8. ConclusionsThe issues effecting professionals returning to graduate school are numerous andcomplex, and in many cases, unique to

To address this concern, among others, ABET adopted theEngineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which introduced a new paradigm in engineeringeducation.1 The new paradigms in engineering education went beyond the need to keep studentson the cutting edge of technology, but required students to have interpersonal skills, beinquisitive and innovative, and most importantly, possess inter
