A group of volunteers from the Scientific Inquiry program’s contributing faculty members met several times during summer break 2001 to discuss the Scientific Inquiry course (SCI 105) – an ad hoc program curriculum committee.  This group’s organizing goal was the production of additional case study materials to support the Scientific Inquiry course.  Early deliberations examined the program’s failure to adopt a common core text (for AY 2001-2002) and the trend (noted from anecdotal evidence only) toward increasing the case study content in SCI 105 course plans.  These deliberations led the group to refocus its goal as the assembly of a case study set representing the coverage of the course’s learning objectives without reliance on a core text.  These case studies were prepared by the group members over the course of 2001-2002, and most were tested in SCI 105 sections.
