PIs).The overall goal of our REU Site program is to motivate and retain talented undergraduates inSTEM careers, particularly careers focused on teaching and STEM education research. TheREU program is designed and implemented to promote three philosophies of work ethic thatare found to foster quality intellectual research leadership: individual, collaboration, andproject management leadership. This paper is submitted for poster presentation at the ASEE2024 conference to display a better understanding of participating students’ perceptions ofEED research before and after a 10-week REU participation. In addition, some demographicinformation gathered was factored into the data analysis to see if those variables bearinfluences on those perceptions

prepare for a rapid pace of change and an intrinsic lack ofpredictability in projects, challenges, and employment [1]. Engineering programs face challengesof high attrition, a lack of opportunity for students to transfer into programs, and, in many cases,pedagogies that have remained in place for decades.Successful engineering students should see curricula beyond a rigorous discipline-specific seriesof courses. The holistic engineering plan of study should include leadership, effective teaming,strong technical skills, and a focus on societal, ethical and environmental effects of engineeringdecisions. Students in such programs who build a strong ‘engineering identity’ are typically moresuccessful [2]. A strong engineering identity is tied to
