an independent study. An independent study can be a for-credit projectallowing a student the opportunity to work more closely with a faculty member on a topic that isnot usually covered in a regular course [6, 7]. In the engineering disciplines, independent studieshave been used to support a faculty member’s teaching [6, 8] and research obligations [6, 9, 10].Some examples of this include a student helping in developing new course content or gatheringdata that a graduate student can then use in their thesis project. The author in [6] remarked thatthe experience of an independent study helped students feel that they are more than just a numberand it can be a great opportunity for resume building while for the faculty member, they offer away
