The main focus of this paper is to share our experience in various activities such asrecruiting, organizing, mentoring, monitoring and assessing students’ activities with othercurrent and future directors of REU programs so that they can successfully plan for and run theirprograms. In the paper, we present various assessment results of our program. The paper alsopresents the lessons that we have learned from this program. Finally, the paper presentsrecommendations regarding how to organize and run future REU programs by other programdirectors. We believe that our paper will help future REU program directors to plan ahead andavoid any last minute pitfalls in running the program.IntroductionParticipation in

Three were ultimately successful; our criterion for success was that the lessonplans were actually used in a middle school classroom. Three other teams achievedacceptable lesson plans, but failed to develop a meaningful Design Challenge. The twodefining attributes of engineering teaching kits are: (1) they realize the guided inquiryapproach to teaching science and math, 6, 7, 8 and (2) they teach the engineering designapproach to problem solving. 5, 9, 10 Page 9.222.1 “Proceedings of the 2004 American

Planning needs to begin well beforethe term starts and includes both technical competence with the material presented andorganization of every class. Lecture preparation requires that every moment be carefully andtotally planned. Even breaks in the lecture need to be scripted to ensure that students do notnotice any discontinuity in the lecture.Handouts, notes, homework assignments and examinations need to be developed early andprinted on a schedule so that there are no last minute requirements.

The interview protocol was developed usingSCCT as the framework and included questions concerning interest, goals, supports/barriers,parental jobs and education, and expectations of their future. Results show that interest was theprimary reason for planning on an engineering career by the high school participants. Likewise,interest was the primary reason for choosing engineering given by the college engineeringparticipants. The students planning on engineering had exposure to engineering in high school,however not all students exposed to engineering plan to pursue an engineering career. Additionalfindings

The scores for eachquestion within each category were averaged to form a composite score from which conclusionswere drawn. Questions in the accessibility category related to the confidence of studentscompleting a research project, the level of comfort developing and discussing research projects,and their feelings of belonging in STEM. Questions in the skills category related more to thespecific skills that will be valuable to their pursuit of a STEM career, including project planning,data analysis, lab techniques

The in-class testing is even more exciting because the students in each group get handson experience to test their own bridge to failure.
