The number of videos viewed per student after week 8 in spring 2020 (switch to online)showed a slight increase (3.7) relative to the fall 2019 views per student (3.5) after week 8. Thissuggests that the utility of the GenZ video titles can be suitable in a completely online course.The instructor(s) provided multiple pieces of feedback to support these data. Each topic wasdesigned to have theory video(s) coupled with at least one practice video as a complete set forstudents. Students were encouraged to watch the appropriate videos before class to promote in-class discussion (a very slight shift towards a more flipped classroom). Two of the Introductionto Computer Science topics were not covered in-class—only

Since there are minimalrecognition and compensation incentives for many of the members, Launch Lab projects areoften a lower priority relative to a member’s other work. Finding the right student(s) for a projectcontinues to be a challenging task. The group sometimes struggles to align the skillsets, interests,and availability of students with the needs of the project outcomes. With such a diverse group,communication remains an area of ongoing difficulty as well. Whether it is between members ofa project team, across the various departments, or even externally, miscommunications orinfrequent communications are often the critical stumbling block to success.

FrameworkTo examine the cultural narratives embedded in a pre-college engineering summer camp, weposition our research through the theoretical lens of cultural production theory. Culturalproduction theory examines “local meaning(s) produced by groups in everyday practice, theirconnection to larger social structures, and the possibility, no matter how slim of challenging thestatus quo” [3, p. 5]. By using the lens of cultural production theory, we can evaluate the waysindividual and collective agency operate in the structural constraints of daily practice to constructculture [4]. Through this evaluation, we can identify the patterns in our actions (practices), theways we label our efforts (intentions), and the ways we describe ourselves (histories

To answer thissection, we ask the students to imagine that they are trying to explain what they did to their boss,what the problem was, and how it was solved. Students should assume that their boss knowsabout computer hardware and the current subject. Thus, they should use the correct language andthe right terminology. Some labs ask the students to write a procedure to solve the problem theysolved, assuming that the procedure would become part of the company’s documentation andtraining for other technicians.

On average,each of the 16 participants provided 2.2 reasons for not launching their project as a startup. 3.1. Hypothesis 1Hypothesis 1 was that students do not continue with their projects because they cannot take timeaway from the paying jobs that are supporting their education.

subscribe to this ideology value a programmed curriculum, and the psychology underpinning it to be found in behavioural psychology, as for example that of B. F. Skinner. In engineering education it can be seen in the systems of mastery learning and personalised instruction that were experimented with in the 1960’s and 1970’s [18; [19]; [20]. While behavioural psychology was replaced by cognitive psychology it is relevant to note that there are many politicians and administrators who believe that computer assisted learning might come to be used to replace lectures which are considered to be conveyors of the same knowledge that is to be sound in textbooks. Evaluation is very important to those who hold this ideology. There are
