Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/sheworks closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, inmany cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported withNSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions.An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location. The program seeks to attract adiversified pool of talented students into careers in science and engineering and to helpensure that they receive the best education

Undergraduate research promotes retention in STEM fields and serves as a pathway tograduate school and science careers​2,3​. For some undergraduate students, however, the process ofengaging in research can be chaotic, confusing, and discouraging, which limits the value of theirexperiences [2].

half a century, the primary focus of student involvement in engineering andcomputer science research programs has been at the graduate level. The reasons for primarilytargeting graduate students for inclusion in research programs and activities include thefollowing: Programmatic emphasis on education and research at the graduate level as opposed to t the undergraduate level. A need for specific background, skills, and knowledge (e.g., successful completion of a certain set of courses or undergraduate degree). Perceptions or expectations regarding greater dedication, drive, and motivation among graduate students (when compared to those of undergraduates). Perceived levels of greater maturity and sense of
