Additionally, Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) hasbeen positively linked with increased self-efficacy of undergraduates6. FTP and SRL have oftenbeen researched separately, but previous literature has reported that there is a link between thesetwo areas2,7–11. We seek to observe the student experience in terms of FTP and how FTP affectsstudent task-specific behavior in terms of SRL, thus investigating this link for engineeringstudents.

CURES are a uniquely valuable intervention for deployment at two-year institutions, wheremany students face restrictions which prohibit their participation in extracurricular activities. Theimplementation of CURES at two-year institutions presents unique challenges versus universitiesdue to the lack of existing research infrastructure.

for completing the higher education. Since we have been practicing this methodfor the last 4 years, we need to study the long-term impact of grouping on the students fromthe early batches. It would be also beneficial to qualitatively analyse students’ and teachers’perspectives including the impact of the method on self-efficacy and engagement of the “abilitygrouped” students. We don’t deny that the “ability grouping” is a controversial method. Further, we don’thave a strong enough evidence of its success at our college. However, the steady improvementin the academic performance over the last four years prompted us to share our findings andopen a discussion on this atypical practice.Acknowledgments We thank the chair of
