Forexample, Foor et al.’s ethnography highlights Inez’s painful experience of desiring acceptance by otherengineering students.13 Additionally, in their grounded-theory study on help-seeking behaviors, Herringand Walther highlight how several participants avoided seeking help in classes.

If they lack calculus orvector algebra, an introductory course in these subjects could be taken during the first semesterof their senior year while taking GSEN. Topics such as vector algebra and dimensional analysiscan easily be integrated into existing algebra and pre-calculus courses. In many cases thesetopics are already being taught and only lack an engineering applications emphasis. In somecases special primer courses can be developed to address deficiencies in pre-requisite subjects.The instructor(s) for a GSEN type course does not need to possess an engineering background(although preferred).

Facultycan use them to build up their teaching and research program. For example, an independent studymay be used to introduce a student to a particular research area in which (s)he may pursue athesis (though in some cases, students are not allowed to earn both independent-study and thesiscredits on the same topic). It may also be used to assist another student on a thesis project, aswhen an undergraduate gathers data that a graduate student can use in writing a thesis.Independent studies can also be used to enrich existing courses.

questionwhether or not the module content best represents the BOK.As this step is the most practical part of the methodology to develop a curriculum, manyquestions about the details of teaching a course like this arise. Some of the modules may not bein accord with the traditional way the topics within the module have been taught. Thus, there arequestions about which examples to use, which textbooks or supplemental material should beused, and which professor(s) will teach the modules. Questions may also arise when combiningtopics in a module that have been taught individually either in a lecture or laboratory setting.This step requires time, patience and communication with those responsible for teaching thematerial and making the semester schedule

Final grades are thencomputed as a weighted average of the objective assessment scores.Before the introduction of SBG, the course was taught using a traditional “chalk-and-talk”lecture style. Homework discussion sessions were offered on a weekly basis. Interactivemodules for convolution and Fourier series signal and system analysis were developed [17] asadditional homework assignments. The course was graded based on homework scores, midtermexam scores, and the final exam score. Students would have only been aware of theirperformance on a course concept by identifying the concept(s) involved with a homework orexam problem and comparing their score to the standard institutional grading scale.After
