the overall video views occurredprior to the switch and only 13% occurred after the switch. For the Introduction to ComputerScience course, all students viewed at least one video with an average of 13.3 views per student.The number of videos viewed per student after the switch to online showed a slight increaserelative to the fall 2019. In both classes, students reported only watching videos on topics thatthey found most difficult. Videos on more fundamental or more difficult topics had higherviewership. Results suggest that students were using the videos as supplemental materials andthat the videos were successful in helping students master the course material.IntroductionStudents entering the University of Idaho, and universities in general

The workshopwas offered during the summer of 2019 and is a modification of an already developed cross-disciplinary EGGN 122 Early Research Experiences in Biomechanics and Bioengineeringundergraduate program [7].The main objective of the IDEAL program was to explore enhancing middle and high-schoolfemale students self-confidence and motivation in pursuing future STEM careers by providingthem with team cross-disciplinary research experiences that enhance critical thinking andcollaboration skills. Entry and exit summer IDEAL program surveys used to assess the IDEALprogram impact showed that the students enhanced their knowledge/skills the most inunderstanding STEM research papers, as well as in working collaboratively on

continues to increase [6]. Students from under-representedminority groups, students who are the first in their family to attend college, and low-incomestudents have lower success rates in college in general, and this trend is true in engineering [7].In 2016, 61% of engineering bachelor’s degrees were awarded to white students, 11.3% toAsian-American students, 11% to Hispanic students, 4% to black students, and only 0.3% toAmerican Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) students [8]. ASEE reports that in 2015, the nationalaverage for six-year graduation rates is approximately 60% for white students and approximately45% for Hispanic/Latino students, 38% for Black or African American students, and 45% forAIAN students [9].First-generation students are defined
