. IntroductionVectors refer to parameters that possess two independent properties, namely, magnitude anddirection. Vectors can be represented in both mathematical and geometric forms, and arecommonly used to quantify physical phenomena such as position, electromagnetic fields, force,velocity, and weight [1-4]. Students typically first encounter vector mechanics in a physicscourse at either the high school or college level. Vector mechanics may be regarded as athreshold concept [5] because, once a student masters them, it marks a transformationalmilestone in the student's ability to understand critical knowledge necessary for subsequentlearning at higher levels [6]. Accordingly, undergraduate engineering students subsequentlyencounter vectors again in

However, transfer ofthese second-order experiences [3] seldom succeeds in developing students’ mechanical reasoning[2] to a degree that they are flexibly and adequately applied to authentic scenarios [1].
