However, the questions in the re-designedcourse were largely conceptual and less calculation-based questions were incorporated. The sametextbook has been used since Fall 2013; individual homework assignments were dueapproximately semi-weekly and incorporated online exercises for concept mastery and problemsrequiring multi-step solutions with detailed calculations. The exam style (discussed previously)and difficulty was consistent with previous semesters, to the extent possible.

methods improves theresults.To date, the instructional approaches described above have been used only by one instructor.Our plan for broader implementation is to incorporate these approaches into an interactivecomputer-based tutorial, so that other instructors can easily assign such work without having toheavily revise their lecture approaches. The interactive tutorial could incorporate simulated or“virtual” laboratory experiments, where students could gain “hands-on” experience related to theideas we are presenting. This tutorial will be incorporated into our existing Circuit Tutorsoftware package,13-15 which we plan to distribute through a textbook publisher at some point toensure its sustainability.6.

In many naturalistic studies theknowledge is measured at the end of the RI. Knowledge at the beginning of the RI can only bereconstructed by e. g. counting the cumber of courses taken on the subject and respective gradesachieved.

In particular, we haveweaknesses in the field of Mathematics, this a common problem in Latin American engineeringprograms12 that in our opinion does not receives enough attention. In our case, since 2005 wehave put in place a collaboration with a French University (INSA-Lyon), oriented at reinforcingteaching and learning practices on Engineering Mathematics.

They suggested that non-science high school and first year college students havethe capacity to comprehend quantum mechanics without classical mechanics backgrounds.However, to accomplish this, instruction has to be carefully and internationally designed.Thus, they developed a new instructional design for quantum mechanics that included hands-on activities and a computer-based simulation. 175 teachers in 160
