interview and think-aloud sessions are also ongoing. Theresearch team holds bi-monthly meetings in which each member independently reviews eachtranscript and generates a set of themes related to the reading and writing practices and cognitiveframeworks used by each engineer. These emerging themes inform our interpretation of theevaluative frameworks that engineers use while they read and wrote genres in the context ofsocially situated activities. After independently reviewing each transcript, the team membersthen discussed the similarities and differences that were found among each other’s perspectives.Preliminary results from the initial round of coding with the mechanical/aerospace andelectrical/computer engineers were presented at the 2019 ASEE
revisions were identified to support undergraduate educators inlaunching or revising their own REU sites.Summary of REU Site ActivitiesThree cohorts of undergraduate students participated in our REU at the University of Alabama(UA), with one cohort in each summer of 2019, 2021, and 2022. The program was paused in2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For each summer of the program studentsattended campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for 10-weeks of research, professional development,social, and cultural activities. Participants were expected to spend 40 hours per week in programactivities, with approximately 32-35 directly on their research and 5-8 on professionaldevelopment, social, and cultural activities each week.The program activities for
collected for the first three cohortsof the Endeavour S-STEM Program. Due to a pause in the program during the COVID-19pandemic, the three cohorts did not start in consecutive years. No freshman cohort was recruitedfor the fall of 2020. Table 1 shows a timeline of the first three cohorts. Engagement data (notpresented in this paper) has been collected each semester and institutional records (includingGPA and retention) have collected for each completed school year.Table 1Time Spent in Program for Each Cohort 2018 2019 2019 2020 2020 2021 2021 2022 2022 2023 Fall Spring Fall Spring Fall Spring Fall Spring Fall Spring Cohort 1 Year 1 Year 2 Cohort 2 Year 1 Year 2 Cohort 3
