In the first two years of the REU project, even though weobserved that the undergraduate research scholars were interested and motivated about theresearch projects, they had no idea about the applications of those technologies or if they wantedto take these ideas to the market. Further, very few of the REU scholars from the initial yearswere interested in applying to our graduate program. Therefore, it was decided to revamp andmodify our approach to the structure of the REU program during the third year of the project.REU project student statisticsStudents were
