To attend the summer program, students simply need to be fluent inspoken and written English, and enrolled in an undergraduate engineering program in their homecountry: there are no set requirements for academic level or achievement. Additionally, admittedstudents are eligible to take any set of short courses, regardless of their engineering specialty. Asa result, our robotics short course had to be accessible to students who had never worked withembedded systems before while at the same time it needed to engage and challenge thosestudents who already had robotics project experience.The second major challenge we faced is that all of the presented material had to be

Its percentage of representationin the U.S. population is projected to increase to 29% by 2050 (Passel & Cohn, 2008). Inengineering, Latinxs continue to be underrepresented and while interventions and programmaticefforts have helped to increase the number of Latinx engineers in the United States, the increaseof this population in the United States is not proportionate with the current representation ofLatinxs in the field. Many research papers have been published on the efforts to addressrecruitment and retention of Latinx students in engineering, yet there still remains a lack ofunderstanding

A study of lecture capture of a first-year engineering course showedclass attendance was not affected and uploaded material was accessed by students as a mechanismof preparing for examinations (Bazylak, McCahan, and Weiss 2012). There is also a growing areaof research examining how homework behaviors in high school affect performance in highereducation.

vague, researchers will often develop a codebook thatdescribes each code with a concrete definition and example quote from the data (Creswell,2014). This codebook can then be used by multiple researchers within the project or futureresearchers conducting similar studies. It is common to have multiple coders code the same dataset or split large data sets between multiple coders. Walther et al. (2013) suggested IRR as ameans to “mitigate interpretative bias” and ensure a “continuous dialogue between researchers tomaintain consistency of the coding” (p. 650). Miles and Huberman (1994) suggest that an IRR of80% agreement between coders on 95% of the codes is sufficient agreement among multiplecoders(Miles & Huberman, 1994)(Miles & Huberman

The main justification for the lab was to use various pedagogical learninginstruments such as project-based learning, peer learning, and increased student engagement, allin the function of learning basic robotic concepts and robot programming, as well as developingcommunication skills.
