Using A Materials Concept Inventory To Assess An Introductory Materials Class: Potential And Problems
William Jordan, Henry E. Cardenas, Chad B. O’Neal
Abstract
In every engineering course there is a concern about how much the students are actually learning. The physics community has addressed this through the development of an assessment instrument called the Force Concept Inventory. More recently this has been expanded to the development of Engineering Concept Inventories. Universities affiliated with the N.S.F.
