” demonstrates that the REU site experience was beneficialin promoting the inclusion of these students in engineering, regardless of its perceived impact ontheir academic performance. Because the REU site was heavily focused on research, it is importantto understand what specific aspects of conducting research the participants preferred, to understandhow to implement these factors in future programs and in the existing engineering curriculum.Therefore, participants were asked to indicate how much they agreed or disagreed with a series ofstatements following the prompt “One of the best things about doing engineering research is beingable to…” (Table 3).
