males, however the males were aware of what the productwas and how it was generally used. Each group was given a handout with seven questions listedhere: 1. How does a hair dryer work? 2. Label the relevant parts of the following image [5] 3. The fan pulls quiescent air from the outside and moves it through the front nozzle. If there is 1 kg/s of air brought in and the air moves at a rate of 10 m/s through the nozzle, how much energy is required to run the fan? It can be assumed that you are holding the dryer horizontally, and atmospheric pressure occurs throughout. 4. If you wanted to increase the speed of the air exiting the hair dryer, how would you change the design? Think of more
that threaten the success of Launch Lab exist. 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. Launch Labmembers may benefit from
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

where the student explains how s/he solved the problem. 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. Some labs require collecting data from the conducted experiment.Students most format the data in tables and charts and present an analysis explaining themeaning of the data. This

ResultsThe study’s three hypotheses were assessed using the interviews and the coded data. 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. The data suggest that this is true.As shown in Fig. 1, students most frequently mentioned lack of time as a factor discouragingpursuing a

Therefore, future studies regarding student motivationsystems or other psychological factors are in need to explore factors that facilitate or impedestudents to transfer to a four-year engineering institution and factors that facilitate or impedetheir subsequent success at the four-year institutions. Third, time to graduation was consideredonly at the final degree granting institution. Therefore, further exploration about the amount oftime that transfer students have spent at their initial institution(s) is necessary in order to accountfor total time to graduation. Fourth, some factors that could be investigated here are the slope ofhow fast they graduate from the degree granting institution which is an indicator oftransferability of courses that

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
