analysis, we used mainly categorical response tallies and descriptive statisticsto identify portions of the survey with the most potential for follow-up study and hypothesisgeneration. We also performed a thematic analysis on free-response data to help support thesenext-steps ideas. A first trained annotator coded the full dataset and a second rater coded 10% ofthe data. The resulting Cohen’s kappa was 0.70, which indicates a substantial level of inter-raterreliability.Results and DiscussionOverall, the results show little difficulty accessing current course materials, as well as low levelsof interaction with peers and the teaching team during Ecampus coursework, as further detailedbelow.

Thus, engineering cultureand the development of engineering identity is inextricably tied to the places that reproduce itand contains within it specific organizational patterns, embedded norms and routines, sharedbeliefs, and values that often mediate how students engage with faculty, staff, and one another.In short, culture cannot be decoupled from the place in which it is experienced and imparted.Extant research delineates visible manifestations of culture as “ways of doing things” within theclassroom and laboratory spaces—which often prioritizes the teaching and development

Due to limited capacity, UREs are often competitive and have selection criteriasuch as grades, test scores, and previous experience or performance based in a class [19].In contrast, CUREs have a structured curriculum and are open to a broader range of students,placing higher demands on mentors to guide multiple students [18].

Sheer numbers and stark contrasts to the educational opportunities available in urban highschools mark this departure.One possible factor contributing to students leaving these schools is the shortage of qualified subject-specific teachers capable of delivering high school-level content in a way that resonates with students.Research on this issue suggests that there are several factors responsible for the challenges faced by therural education system
