thesedistinctions, we can transition students back to traditional representations after their conceptualknowledge is robust enough to guide them. Our themes of perceptually similar concepts,perceptually obscure concepts, and informationally incomplete representations suggest clearavenues for investigating what types of perceptual cues may hinder students’ ability to developor use appropriate conceptual knowledge. As engineers, we can use this knowledge to potentiallydesign new notations or new pedagogical techniques that can help students recognize andovercome the ways our notation may currently be failing to help students learn.References [1] S.

demonstrate the cognitive benefits of using kineticdiagrams based on Cognitive Load Theory, an instructional design framework derived from thecognitive architecture.Just like we need to follow laws of motion to design machines as engineers, we, as mechanicsinstructors, should develop instruction strategies by following principles of learning. According toCognitive Load Theory, learning will be hindered if the cognitive load exceeds working memorycapacity [6]. The cognitive load could be imposed by either the intrinsic nature of learningmaterials (i.e., intrinsic cognitive load) or the instruction manners in which the materials arepresented (i.e., extraneous cognitive load). Therefore, we need to keep students’ working memorylimitation in mind when we

taken to teach students about the various tools and supplies through traditionallecture methods. Unfortunately, these models tend to compartmentalize topics within students’ minds whichcan be especially problematic in the context of Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering(hereafter referred to as Bioengineering). Bioengineering programs tend to be extremely broad,encompassing chemical, electrical, material science, and mechanical engineering elements, aswell as computer science. Oftentimes, students take lab classes, for example related to molecularbiology, in a specific lab meant only for that area of study. A different lab class dealing with adifferent field would then be done in a different lab. The challenge with these models is
