what thiscareer path would look like in practice, but I’m committed to finding out.About half way through my freshman environmental seminar, my professor, Dr. Walther, askedme if I would be interested in working on a research project in engineering education. Hedescribed a study of media representations of engineering that he was working on with hiscolleague and told me that they were looking for a student who would like to help with dataanalysis. I agreed, and attended his research group’s next meeting. I was initially intimidated byworking with professors on a research project, but I quickly became comfortable after help andencouragement from my supervisors.My participation in this research group formed the context for the present

We can add to this the fact that we have 50 separate statesystems for higher education, significant regional variation in industrial capabilities and theirattendant workforce needs, and a variety of federal policies and programs not the least of whichis the federal commitment to scientific and engineering research.

Participation in REU’s is competitive and generally done through aprocess designed to pair students interested in a particular research area with faculty doing workin that area. REUs are also generally flexible in design with hosting institutions having a greatdeal of control over the organization and content of the program. These factors allow hostinguniversities to create REUs that can maximize local resources to provide unique educationalprograms to best benefit student participants.An interdisciplinary approach to summer REU programs can help address the challenge ofproviding soft-skills training within an engineering education environment (see for example [2],[3], [4]).
