A majority of survey participants chose engineering becausethey were interested in it or because they thought it would lead to a successful career. About halfof the students had at least one family member working as an engineer.

In this study, we utilized SCCT tounderstand how CE students perceived environmental supports and barriers is related toparticipating in research, which in turn may impact research career decision makings.

REU programs typically bring together students from across thecountry – or even around the world – to a university campus for the summer. While at thisuniversity, the students learn how to conduct real research in their discipline by actually doing it,under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Giving students exposure to conducting bona fideresearch allows them to determine whether they may be interested in pursuing a research career(and, to support this, continuing on to graduate-level education).Many students who participate in REU programs remember these programs long after theprogram is complete.
