Several REU programs over the past few years wereheld remotely or virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on the impacts of virtual orremote REU programs is limited. One study by Nyarko and colleagues highlighted how, despitechallenges encountered during a virtual REU, students demonstrated gains in knowledge,confidence, and communication skills [30].

For example, writing about “engineering mindsets,” DonnaRiley suggests that the ways many engineers work to solve problems may serve to reproduceinequities [5]. The mindsets she describes are particularly troublesome when they preventengineers from taking ideas or perspectives different than their own seriously.As educators, we are particularly concerned about how privileging their own knowledge andexpertise at the expense of others may foreclose opportunities for future engineers to engagemeaningfully with stakeholders. In this paper, we will refer to the stubborn idea that technologyor technical knowledge alone can be used to identify and solve real

The ability to select as many labels asappropriate prevents situations in which a respondent might have to choose between “Male” and“Transgender Male,” a situation that can be alienating. Our approach also balances length withinclusion13. In this configuration, a woman who identifies with her biological sex would be ableto select both “female” and “cisgender” to describe herself. If an individual’s gender identity didnot fall into the categories listed in the survey, they were prompted to write in their specificidentity next to “a gender not listed.” The phrasing of this item was crafted to treat write-inresponse as equally valid as the other options provided13.We defined

Common STEM barriers include a lack ofmentors and role models; lack of awareness and understanding of STEM opportunities; and lackof academic preparation for STEM degree programs. Societal and cultural biases favor somecareers (nursing and teaching, for example) over others (e.g., engineering and science) forwomen, meaning fewer women pursue certain STEM fields.

]. Research shows that student interest in STEM field decreases as their grade levelsincrease [2]. It is expected that in the next five years, there will be a shortage of talented andskilled employees in STEM fields [1], [2].Among the reasons that U.S. students lack interest in STEM fields is their perception that formalK-12 STEM education is not directly relevant to their daily life experiences [3], [4]. Themathematical and scientific content presented in formal settings does not appear to be directlyuseful in their day-to-day experiences and their interactions with others in their community.Content knowledge is often presented in a way that seems compartmentalized and impractical [3]– [7].
