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 undergraduate students in engineering. He was a coauthor for best paper award in the Journal of Engineering Education in 2013.Sarah Hoyt, Arizona State University Sarah Hoyt is currently the Education Project Manager for the NSF-funded JTFD Engineering faculty

allowscustomized design and fabrication of scaffolds that can meet specific needs of each patient.Therefore, 3D printing has been heavily studied for prototyping tissue scaffolds that can mimicthe mechanical strength and biological environment of host bone tissues.8–10An eight-week summer project on 3D printed bone materials was designed for aspiring highschool rising seniors who are interested in biomaterials and engineering research. In this project,the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing technique was used for the fabrication ofbone scaffold models using various polymer and biopolymer filaments. Polymer scaffolds(1×1×1 cm3 cubes) with different infill geometries and densities were fabricated. The mechanicalproperties of these scaffolds were

largelyleft up to the students to make the connection between the levels. Similarly, we think studentswill better understand the dynamics of the macro-level by informally deriving Fick’s lawsthemselves before being shown a formal derivation. Results of this re-design will be reported infuture publication.4.4 Closing RemarksThis study reported on the first iteration of a design-based research project to develop a unit forlearning about diffusion at both the micro and macro levels using computational agent-basedmodeling representations, the traditional differential equation representations (Fick’s laws), andaccompanying graphical representations. Our findings suggest that the agent-basedrepresentation helped students understand the micro-level process
