Through research experiences for undergraduates (REU)programs, NSF supports U.S. citizens and permanent resident students from institutions that maynot have graduate programs in an area to immerse them into research environment at a hostresearch university. Therefore, REU programs are aimed to increase participants’ awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields.However, the recent data showed the continuing lack of diversity in engineering graduateprograms [1].
