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. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of

,” one might think there is less reason for civil engineers to be involved in study abroad programs. However, many of the largest and most innovative designs for such structures are now in the Middle East and Asia. Our programs in CEE first started with a unique program whereby students took a class in the design of skyscrapers and analyzed the design of a building they would visit. They then toured the actual structure and in some cases met the designers. This program expanded to include traffic issues in major cities such as Beijing. These programs were supplemented with water resource programs offered in Latin America. As a result, about 70% our graduating CEE students have a study abroad

For this pilot course, a series of invited speakerlectures were offered. Experts in the field covered technical aspects of solar, wind, andbioenergy, as well as business, legislative and geopolitical aspects. Students taking the courseparticipated in an end-of-semester survey about their perception of renewable energies, theassociated industries, and their interest in pursuing jobs related to them.
