It is also important to strive for gender parity and participation by underrepresentedminorities. Prior to the formal REU program it is important that a dialogue be facilitated betweenthe REU student and his/her faculty advisor and graduate mentor. It is also important to insurethat the faculty advisor order in advance any equipment and supplies necessary for the student’sresearch. An additional measure of hospitality in the form of picking up the students at theairport and being at the dormitories to help them move into their accommodations provides anice ‘personal touch’ to get the REU program off to a positive start.

inhigher education highlights the critical need for change agents—individuals within academia andoutside of it willing to enact a transformation in STEM education at the curricular, institutional,and national levels. A core piece of ensuring a change in educational systems is the ability of theseagents to exercise their agency (i.e., free will or choice to act). However, the dominant norms inhigher education can limit opportunities for students, faculty members, or higher educationadministrators to enact their agency [3], [4]. A deeper understanding of how agency is defined andused in this context for research and policy changes can provide useful ways of catalyzing changein engineering education.Agency is an emerging theory within engineering

For example,how students conceive a particular discipline or career will influence this decision, as what theybelieve it to involve will likely affect their interest in engaging with it.
