been done to identify both student- and faculty-identified benefits andchallenges of SBG within university engineering education using surveys [3,12,14]. Examplebenefits include a focus on learning, opportunities for self-directed learning and assessment, anda focus on improvement. Example challenges include lack of transparency, no partial credit, andmore effort required. To further understand the student experience in these types of courses, thisproject consists of interviews with students and faculty from two SBG courses. The interviewprocess allows the researchers to dive deeper into the details of the student experience, and theinclusion of both faculty and students from the same courses allow for comparison betweenfaculty perceptions and
