Impact of Grades on Engineering Students Well-BeingThe authors conducted a preliminary research study to understand the emotional and academicimpact grades have on engineering undergraduate students. Grades in higher education havebecome a priority for students to secure internship opportunities, post-graduation employment, andgraduate school acceptance. However, students’ desire to attain high grades in engineeringdisciplines may lead to negative psychosocial effects such as additional anxiety and increasedmental exertion, physical exhaustion, and overall lack of work-life balance. A survey wasconducted with a cohort of 45 students enrolled in a prerequisite, introductory engineering courseto understand their

In addition,the mentors are involved in the development of new instructional materials. We have found theirpost-capstone insight to provide a unique lens through which to understand the studentexperience. Recently, a peer mentor suggested that we develop tools to help teams to processintra-team criticism, such as critique of a team member’s proposed approach by fellow teammembers.

Throughanalysis of student performance prior to the course, evidenced by GPA and scores on relevantprerequisite content, it is demonstrated that the two populations are statistically comparable. Coursegrade and final exam grade are then compared to examine the impact of the course model on studentperformance. Course evaluations and course outcome surveys are also examined to probe studentperceptions of the course. The driving research question is two-fold: 1) What impact does a flippedlecture mode have on student performance; and 2) What impact does a flipped lecture mode have onstudent perceptions of the course and of their own learning? It should also be noted that
