These skills encompass social and personal responsibility,critical thinking, visualization, decision-making, planning, creativity, cross-culturalunderstanding, strong communication skills, effective presentation, interpersonal competence,and the ability to discern when and how to select and utilize technology and tools that are mostsuitable for a given task [15].Hence, the purpose of integrating technology into the teaching and learning process is to enhanceproductivity, improve the effectiveness of current practices, and introduce pedagogical changesthat benefit education. This incorporation of technological tools fosters increased

With the addition of the writing instructor, the IE instructors can better focus on andassess the technical descriptions of the problems and proposed solutions. Students also noted thatthe writing instructor was a helpful resource. For example, in the course evaluations one studentnoted that the writing instructor, “was really helpful and definitely impacted our written piecespositively.” Another student noted the writing instruction “really encouraged me to apply theskills in other writing. I realize that I am more critical about my writing and more thorough whenproofreading.” A third student said the writing instructor “made writing easier.”Moving forward, we plan to continue to examine summative assessments

Designing evaluationmethods to also allow research into student learning and identity formation is a powerful way toaddress this inequity. Our aim was to understand students’ individual research experiences alongside theirconceptions of what science is and their self-assessments of identity, sense of belonging, and 1professional skills. These insights serve as indicators of more valuable outcomes of learning andprofessional development than the common over-focus in REU program evaluation on whetherinterns plan to attend
