Undergraduates (REU)program has been a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing undergraduate education in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The REU program provides studentswith opportunities to engage in hands-on research experiences, which are critical for fostering adeeper understanding of scientific inquiry and enhancing retention rates among undergraduates inSTEM disciplines (Alaee & Zwickl, 2021). The program has been instrumental in addressing thehigh attrition rates in STEM fields, particularly among students from diverse backgrounds, therebycontributing to a more inclusive and innovative workforce (Rodenbusch et al., 2016). One of theprimary benefits of REU programs is their positive impact on students' decisions

The complexity of modern technology and the sophistication ofcurrent knowledge and procedures makes it impossible for any single individual to know and doeverything; assistance from others is essential in virtually every engineering endeavor. Page 7.909.1It is vital that engineering graduates both understand the nature of, and be able to function in,team situations. As a result, engineering education must include a significant number ofexperiences that impact students in ways that build awareness and skills in teaming.

dynamics in a team.The importance of teamwork in STEM education is underscored by Criteria 3 of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [2]. This criterion mandates thatstudent learning outcomes must include “an ability to function effectively as a member of atechnical team.” This requirement is rooted in the understanding that the future workforce mustbe adept not only in technical knowledge but also in interpersonal and collaborative skills. Byincorporating teamwork into their curricula, educational institutions help bridge the gap betweenacademic learning and professional requirements.Prior research has shown that effective teamwork is an important soft skill for building a set ofskills that are essential in the modern
