After an undergraduate research experience students should be prepared andmotivated to pursue careers in science and engineering. A critical component of an effectiveprogram is the cultivation of a positive and supportive community by fostering student-studentand student-faculty relationships. The potential benefits of transitioning a summer researchexperience composed primarily of isolated research and seminars to one based on a learningcommunity approach has recently been demonstrated. In 2008, the Department ofBioengineering at The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) initiated a ten-week summerprogram through a National

Yet, many programs designated as“Research Experience for Undergraduates” are directed at students entering their senior year,although it has been suggested that the experience begin earlier2. We designed and initiated aREU program that targets students in the early stages of their undergraduate career, specifically,those completing their first year in college.
