thefollowing topics: estimation, expected value and expected error in decision making, sampledistributions and sizes (e.g., significance, hypothesis testing, non-normal distributions), andgoodness of fit, including correlation coefficient, standard errors, and R2 [12]. The purpose ofthis exam is to test engineers’ overall competency across core areas of an undergraduatedegree in a given engineering discipline. IDE students are required to take the FE exam priorto graduation, and they are encouraged to take the “Other Disciplines” version of the exam.The IDE Program recently discussed ideas for how we could further help our students preparefor the FE exam, and each instructor was asked to evaluate the overlap of their course contentwith the applicable

understanding of their chosenfields, and a heightened interest in pursuing graduate school.Keywords: independent study, undergraduate research, motivation, students’ attitude andperceptionIntroductionIndependent study as it can be achieved either by doing research or design work as project thatcan be part of project-based or problem-based learning (PBL). In both cases the idea is toprovide the students with flexibility to choose topics and types of work they want to doindependently at their own pace and learn independently either by a single student or students ina group [1]. It allows students to learn about a subject that is unavailable in traditional curriculaor about a topic students would like to explore in greater depth. Faculty and students
