results in a written report in the form of an engineering memorandum to a fictitious client.As part of a larger study on models and modeling, one of our objectives was to assess theeffectiveness of MEAs across various dimensions including improving conceptual learning andproblem solving abilities2,4,5. We have implemented and assessed MEAs in the classroom tostudy students’ problem solving, modeling and teamwork processes. When assessing theeffectiveness of MEAs in improving conceptual learning and problem solving we have usedthree assessment methods: pre and post concept inventories (CIs) to assess learning gain, anonline reflection tool to assess the problem solving process, and a rubric to assess the resultinggeneral model and specific
