This can help enhance a university's reputationas a center for research and learning and attract high-achieving students and faculty, therebyraising the overall academic profile of the institution. Furthermore, these programs can lead toexternal funding opportunities and collaborations with industry and other universities,expanding the institution's reach and impact [8]. The research conducted in these programsoften leads to publications and presentations, further contributing to the scholarly community[9].Finally, URPs contribute to student retention and success in STEM fields.

ResearchUndergraduate research is a high impact educational practice that has numerous benefits forstudents [5]. It provides students with the opportunity to experience an education that isgrounded in discovery, enhances students intrinsic motivation to learn, and increases earlyengagement in engineering program [4], [5]. Students acknowledge that engaging inundergraduate research is intellectually stimulating, and believe it equips them with the skillsnecessary to tackle future challenges, particularly in solving engineering problems [3]. Manystudents have indicated that their most effective learning experiences occur when they areactively involved in undergraduate research [2], [5].Additionally, undergraduate research aids in the development of critical

Intrinsic value can be activated through a personalized education, increasingmotivation in a student’s learning journey [19], and extrinsic value can be activated through self-guided inquiry, which leads to higher content retention and usefulness of the course [20].

One student remarked that as a result of the internship, they might no longerconsider environmental science as a possible career path. They thought that the data collection,data management, and data analysis experiences indicated that the career path might not besomething they were interested in. On the one hand, this could be an artifact of the way theinternship was programmed. For some students with little or no experience with programming,statistics, or field work, the program may not have been designed with enough support.

Some scholars, such as Neeley, havetried to map conceptual efforts of integrating professional skills into undergraduate engineeringcurricula [4]. There are several different models for how these courses appear in undergraduateprograms. Some schools use a powerful embedded model where there are programs anddepartments that specifically address and teach professional engineering courses, while otherschools rely on outsourcing these courses to liberal arts colleges to fulfill humanities and socialscience electives [3]. The main issue with relying on liberal arts colleges is that the courseofferings are generally not related to engineering as a professional practice. By utilizing
