Balancing the R with the E in REU Programs

Abstract
Externally or internally funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs offer students the opportunity to work with faculty on unsolved problems and can serve as a highlight of their undergraduate career. The overall goal of these formative programs is that students and faculty have an enjoyable experience as they investigate the horizon of knowledge. However, there is a question on how much a program should focus on research and how much emphasis should be placed on the experience. In the end, both aspects should be given considerable weight.
