Thus far, our student body consists of mostly workingprofessionals seeking career advancement. Some are electrical or electronic technicians seekingthe degree for promotion. Some are intellectual property lawyers in different engineeringdisciplines seeking to expand their practice to include electrical engineering. There are yet othersseeking completion of their bachelor degrees that were interrupted by various life scenarios.

Such experiences are seen as vital for thebroader aims of increasing inclusivity and expanding participation in STEM fields. UREs have madeimportant contributions to the career development and success of many students. Practitioners often credittheir early undergraduate research experiences as pivotal in shaping their professional paths [1]. Inrecognition of this, the National Science Foundation has provided substantial funding to give studentsvaluable opportunities to participate in UREs.
