They did so primarily by identifying characteristicsof innovative solutions and, in some cases, features or outcomes of the processes that led to thosesolutions. The learning related to this theme often involved moving from a self-identified naïveunderstanding to a more informed understanding. The more informed understanding generallyconnected to features of projects that students had personally led or participated in.Table 2.

During development of conceptquestions, attention is paid to presenting a clear and concise question that typically focuses on asingle concept. Wording and pictorial representations play a key role in creating a “good”concept question.As part of this movement, thousands of ConcepTests are available at an online platform knownas the Concept Warehouse [5]. The ConcepTests provide multiple choice questions that typicallydo not require calculations. But they also provide the opportunity for students to enter writtenexplanations for their answers, which is extremely valuable for student metacognition [6], [7],[8], and instructor ability to gain insight into student reasoning [9], [10

A body of researchin psychology indicates that students from these marginalized groups may have qualitativelydifferent group work experiences compared to others, which may contribute to their self-selection from engineering and thus their group’s under-representation in engineering fields.Recent research suggests that the negative experiences of people from marginalized groups onengineering student design teams can influence many factors that contribute to persistence andsuccess, such as development of

Inchemical engineering, it is not uncommon for students who have done well in freshmanyear to struggle with their first chemical engineering course: mass and energy balances(MEBs). This difficulty is curious, as the course is based largely on concepts firstencountered in high school chemistry (conservation of elemental mass, stoichiometry)and first year physics (conservation of energy).
