Concepts Inventory; and a Chemistry Concept Inventory. His technical research is in nano-characterization of polymers and semiconductors. His educational research is in K-12 engineering outreach and in misconceptions and conceptual change in teaching and learning in engineering education. He is currently supported by NSF for a CCLI grant for development of Just in Time Teaching materials science modules and for IEECI grants to study the student learning trajectory and effectiveness of active learning processes in a broadly subscribed Introductory Materials Science course in engineering.Elliot Douglas, University of Florida Dr. Elliot P.

the benefits of students working together have been well documented. We now know that students teaching students results in effective learning and that a cooperative environment is more effective than a competitive environment. In addition, involvement in the classroom and student- student and student-instructor interactions have been identified as having the largest positive effect of numerous environmental factors on the academic achievement, personal development, and satisfaction of college students.”6At University “A” faculty chose to utilize both POGIL worksheets and the Concept-in-Contextworksheets for the MEEN 360 course. The POGIL materials science worksheets are beingdeveloped by Dr. Elliot Douglas
