The career trajectory toward EIF positions isvaried, and those varied academic and career experiences of EIF can enrich students' classroomexperiences. Over the last twenty years, there has been an increase in the number of professional-track faculty in higher education. This increase is attributed to the need for subject-matterspecialists who can bring extensive content knowledge and, in some cases, industry experienceto the classroom.

Theseopportunities can be incredibly effective, particularly in the encouragement of students to attendgraduate school or otherwise further pursue careers in STEM fields [8], [9]. Hence, REUprograms have been promoted in recent years as a method of creating a sustainable pathway tograduate school [9]. Literature shows that undergraduate research is strongly associated with improvement ofthe undergraduate education experience [10], [11].
