In this proficiency-based course, I felt motivated to learn the course material.Each question was followed by an open-ended question asking students to explain more deeplyhow proficiency-based grading impacted the previous question. A. Can you explain how your confidence was impacted by proficiency-based grading? B. Can you explain how your stress around grades was impacted by proficiency-based grading? C. Can you explain how proficiency-based grading impacted your learning? D. Can you explain how proficiency-based grading may or may not have motivated you to learn?There were also two open-ended questions at

times. This is a type of inter-group activity in which a group designshomework problems, assigns them to the group they are visiting, and offers hints and evaluationsduring the visit. One house (e.g., group A) first needs to use the lecture and external readingmaterials to work together and make homework questions related to the recent topics. They mustalso create solutions and tutoring plans. Then, one of the group members will bring theirquestions to another “house” (e.g., group B) and join the group as a tutor, monitor their workprogress, collect their answers, and give feedback. Group A’s effort and the quality of their workwill be evaluated by the teaching team with comments and corrections. In the “visiting”, astudent can actively work

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

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
