qualitative and quantitative data gathered suggest that theprelab problem sets helped the students to be better prepared for the lab sessions due to thecomplementary nature of the prelab problems and the lab problems. Coupled with thefeatures of WeBWorK, the prelab problem sets provided better support for the students’learning and also deepened their understanding of the concepts during the actual lab sessions.AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by the Simon Fraser University Teaching and LearningDevelopment Grant.

In thespring of 2021 at Penn State Behrend, one recitation section was offered and had 7 participants.More sections will need to be opened to increase availability to students with conflictingschedules because students cite scheduling conflicts as the main factor for skipping or notregistering for recitation courses [13], [14]. It is hoped that with proper tracking of the success ofthe recitation, the data can be used to convince future students to participate in the recitationcourse.References[1] S.

Ill-structured tasks are important to engineering courses because they are similar to authenticproblems that students will encounter in their future workplaces [1], [2]. Solving ill-structuredtasks collaboratively allows students to expand their learning beyond “drill-and-practice”-typeproblem solving and engage in higher order thinking and co-construction of knowledge [3].Nevertheless, studies have indicated that it is necessary to scaffold ill-structured tasks becausethey are complex [4], [5], and students do not naturally implement effective collaborativeinteractions while solving these tasks [6].

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.

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

In doing so, he makes aconcerted effort to relate the current lesson content to previous and upcoming lessons, the course,and real-life applications. The instructor intentionally limits the lesson overview to 15 minutesbased on the finding from Swartz, Butler, and Laman whose literature review identified thattypical student attention spans range from 5-15 minutes9 .
