circuit concepts but also using the appropriate metrics andcommunication style tailored for the audience for us to further identify potential misconceptionsthat students, teachers, or both of them share.MethodologyThis pilot study was a result of our ongoing interest in pinpointing misconceptions amongelectrical engineering students; thus, the development of our own instrument. There is not muchresearch in the use of concept inventory for instructors because concept inventories, as anassessment tool, is supposed to be designed by the instructors for the students. However, wesought to validate and use this instrument adaptively for both students and teachers who areinvolved in the learning and teaching of these engineering concepts. For this pilot
