plays a very important role in carrying loads, especially bending andtorsion. The shape can be optimized to maximize performance for a given loading condition. Simplecross-sectional geometries are not always optimal. For example, I-beams can carry bending loads moreefficiently when compared to a solid cross-section, like a solid square. By efficiency we mean for a givenloading condition the section uses as little material as possible.We define the shape factor in bending, „ B’ e due to stiffness effects as: S B  e

weremultiple misconceptions for each student's response to each question. After reading through andmaking note of student misconceptions, similar misconceptions were grouped into categories.These categories were developed through emergent themes from student misconceptions asdisplayed on each Topical Module Assessment. For example, many student misconceptions ofcrystal structure included addition or deletion of atoms in the unit cell. Not all misconceptionsinvolved adding or removing the same atom, but because these were similar misconceptions,hinting at an emergent theme, they were grouped into one category referencing extra or missingatom(s). Each student conception was then assigned categories based on these emergent themes.This categorization

difficulties, however, here we briefly describe a preliminarypilot sample exercise to help students address a small subset of these difficulties. The exercise isintended to be completed by students in small groups of 3 or 4 in a “recitation” type format. Therecitation instructor(s) do not lecture, rather leave the students to complete the task and posequestions to individual groups when they have problems.The exercise focuses on student understanding of the potential energy of two metal atoms as afunction of separation. We chose this topic for several reasons. First, a basic (and we stressbasic) conceptual understanding of the major features of the potential is fundamental tounderstanding the nature of atomic bonds and this can be used throughout the
