, results of the annualassessment tests, and best practices/advice for each of the methods were presented and publishedat the 2014 and 2015 ASEE Annual Conferences.14, 15While the concept inventory tests are very valuable for assessing gains within a course, they donot give any information on the lasting effects of those gains. In the author’s situation,substantial changes to the physics-mechanics class resulted in significant gains in the FCI testscores. Those gains indicate an improved understanding of conceptual knowledge from start toend of that particular course. What is not clear is how lasting those gains are. That is, do thegains in conceptual understanding carry through to subsequent courses that make use of the sameconcepts?This paper

experience and collaboration aspects for the participatingstudents.IntroductionCERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has been carrying out groundbreakingfundamental research in particle physics for over 60 years and has made numerous importantdiscoveries in the field – latest widely known example being the Higgs boson in 2012. Thecurrent research endeavors gather over 12 000 scientists from around the world to collaborate inscientific experiments, and to develop new hardware and software solutions for the highlyaccurate technology-driven prototypes. Over time, some of the research discoveries andinstruments have found their way to wider audiences and have had a significant impact on oureveryday life, as in the case of the World Wide

from a leader orother authority figure. In addition to being a technology-rich generation, Gen Y is one whichwants to know that what they spend their time on is significant to the world around them. In onestudy, the vast majority of millennials surveyed agreed that they believed it was possible forthem to do something great and perhaps make a positive impact for the common good of society.In this way, Carpino, Ugalde, and Gow argue that the expectations of today’s millennial-agecollege students are much different than previous generations35. These researchers suggest thatwhen a millennial enters the classroom they want to know that there is a practical application anduse to what they are learning, and that they prefer active over passive
