In additionto learning technical research skills through the REU program, REU administrators hoped topromote and assess a host of educational and psychosocial skills, including the interest andmotivation for participating in undergraduate research, the likelihood of attending graduateschool, engineering growth mindset, sense of belonging, and creative identity. To measure anypotential changes in participants in these areas from before to after participating in the REU,evaluators conducted both pre- and post-surveys and individual interviews with the participants.With the mentioned host of learning outcomes associated with

Informalcommunity-building and relationships with faculty and staff help students develop a sense ofbelonging in college (Myers et al., 2015). Additionally, students should be encouraged tointegrate their outside lives with academics. Community involvement in research projects canhelp engage students in problem-solving (Loeser et al., 2021). This is important particularly forstudents who have a strong sense of cultural and community identity.

In a small liberal artscollege without any follow-up courses in MSE, we decided that the two overarching objectivesfor this course were to enable students to 1) assess whether a particular material is appropriatefor a particular application through consideration of the structure, properties, and processing of amaterial, and 2) to research and evaluate a material and its appropriateness for potentialapplications and present their findings to a specified audience. We also wanted to use this courseto develop ancillary skills in written communication, including communication of quantitativeinformation.Content.

Engineering educators have long recognized the importance of effective writtencommunication skills, and many programs have incorporated an emphasis on writtencommunication within their curriculums. Indeed, the ABET 2000 criteria not onlyemphasized writing skills but also specifically located responsibility for writinginstruction within the engineering program itself: Competence in written communication in the English language is essential for the engineering graduate.
