problems. This wasachieved by using a variety of active learning and pedagogical techniques such as, annotatedtextbook readings of current journal publications, oral presentations highlighting the balancebetween nature and technology, laboratory demonstrations, and a semester-long group projectmotivated by student interest in nature and chemical engineering.In this paper, the opportunities and challenges associated with developing a new course in anemerging multidisciplinary research area will be addressed. In addition, suggestions for bestpractices in course development will be provided for instructors who seek to develop similar newresearch-based elective courses.BackgroundIn 2014, a new graduate-level course intended for Master’s students on

protocol was able to leverage the benefits explicated above. This paper willreport on the results, and provide practical implications for researchers on performing a similarconversion.IntroductionThe study of student conceptual understanding has become an increasingly important part ofengineering education research. For example, Brown, et al. recently interviewed 50 students inorder to design classroom activities specifically aimed at addressing misconceptions. One couldimagine that this required a significant investment in time and money, both to conduct andtranscribe the interviews. If an interview protocol can be effectively converted to an onlinesurvey implementation, transcription time can be significantly reduced.Semi-structured interviews
