State University. He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence.

international standards and best practices. On September 2011 the UANLpublished a new General Regulation for Evaluations (Reglamento General de Evaluaciones),which considers the development of competencies through the different courses of each programand requires the use of modern methods and practices, indicating that the evaluation for eachcourse cannot be specified using only a single method or score and has to be both formative andsummative through a series of specific and properly designed activities and their evidences. Tocomply with this regulation and at the same time satisfying ABET criterion 1 (relative to studentsand that specifies that “student progress must be monitored to foster success in attaining studentoutcomes..”) a new informatics

material science and its application to the i)characterization of polymers for meniscus replacement, ii) the design of magneticnanobiomaterials for hyperthermia cancer treatment. Page 26.670.22. PROJECT GOALSThe goals and objectives of this project are outlined below. • To develop multidisciplinary curricula on biomaterials that enhances student knowledge of fundamental concepts in core STEM disciplines. • To generate detailed experimental designs that can be disseminated and adapted by other faculty at 4-year universities on a national level. • To increase student interest in pursuing undergraduate and graduate study
