In order to be able to approach these challenges, students need to be able to thinkcritically, communicate effectively, and solve complex problems 4. Many of these skills can bedeveloped in a classroom environment; however, deeper learning has been seen when studentsparticipate in learning communities like undergraduate research experiences 5,6.

threequizzes. When considering only the first two quizzes, the variance between WeBWorK andpaper homework is virtually identical, with the WeBWorK based homework having a slimadvantage. Those results seem to coincide with the previous analysis. Page 26.246.8Looking at the variance of quiz scores, we can conclude as we did before, that WeBWorK is atleast equivalent to paper homework for learning. This may be a more important result than theprevious because it shows that for engineering students, the online based homework does notleave any portion of the class behind due to technological difficulties or comprehension. Whilethis may not be a surprising

Dassault Systemes, designerof SolidWorks software, suggests their products enable users to validate designs, “without needinga Ph.D. in Finite Element Analysis,” for example.? Bolstering this contention, recent programgraduates are currently using FEA software for designing commercial vehicle wheels and structuralpolymer products. The fact that FEA is now in the midst of the technological transition froma research tool to a professional competency, has significance for engineering curricula at theundergraduate level. For one, FEA exposure to some degree is necessary to meet expectations ofemployers. Second, content of FEA instruction must adapt both to the availability of new tools aswell as to a changing
problem features relevant toeducation. We demonstrate how phiMap can be used to assess a selection of exercises in order toquickly and visually determine whether any educational descriptors are underrepresented, andadd exercises that may mitigate such underrepresentation. We conclude by discussing howphiMap provides decision support for selecting physics exercises tailored to educationaltaxonomies in a rapid and collaborative manner.IntroductionProficiency in problem solving has long been a central objective for introductory science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses. Beyond developing a knowledge base, suchSTEM courses should place focus on building the necessary skills for quantitative and qualitativeproblem solving. By
