Appendix B shows the five stages of the PCB project along with some explanation of howstudents’ work is assessed at every stage. Appendix C shows one anonymous sample of studentsubmission for each of the project stages.Project Outcomes and OrganizationThe PCB project is designed in such a way that if a student drops the “Circuits, Signals andMeasurements” class, they will still be able to continue taking “Design Methodologies”. In otherwords, a student’s grade in one class would not impact their performance in the other. Courseinstructors advised students who were off-cycle or had to drop “Circuits, Signals andMeasurements” that
group; and (b) whether career self-concept wasinfluenced by learning modality. The pedagogical changes brought on by the COVID-19pandemic served as a natural experiment for the latter.Over the course of six contiguous semesters spanning Fall 2019 to Fall 2021 we measuredabsolute and relative self-concept (engineer versus clinician) from 333 students via explicitdeclaration, and via an implicit attitudes test (IAT). The IAT is a psychological test that relies onrepeated measures of response latency in a subject’s association of two concepts – in this case,between the concepts of self and other, and the concepts of clinician and engineer. Weinterpreted the resulting measure of implicit bias as a measure of career self-concept.The data suggest

Appendix B). Thefocus of this paper is on the first three phases.Plan: The plan phase focused on determining if case study methodology is compatible with theproposed study and forming the research questions. Based on these findings of the scopingreview, multiple-case study was chosen as the methodology. This study will examine a widearray of course types, focus on individual courses as opposed to the whole curriculum, andincorporate interviews of faculty of the courses examined. Given the varying types ofengineering courses within the curriculum (i.e., first-year, technical, elective, design, etc.), thisapproach allows for a more complex and nuanced understanding of how different courses shapethe curriculum, as each course type may require
