thereform path than other disciplines due to the existence of an assessment instrument thattests basic concepts. The well-known Force Concept Inventory (FCI) assessment instrumentof Hestenes, et al.14 has been in use for over 15 years and is now credited with stimulatingreform of physics education. Such assessment inventories can play an important part inrelating teaching techniques to student learning. The design of these instruments relies onthe designer(s) knowing the misconceptions commonly held by students in a discipline.The instruments use these misconceptions as distractors to see if a student can pick out acorrect concept from among the common misconceptions

DeterminismThe work of engineers fuels technological determinism, so it is not surprising that much of theattention in innovation in engineering education from the 1950’s until the present has beendriven, if not determined, by available educational technology that could be applied. From theearly use of visualisation aides, to audio-visual devices (film, audio cassettes, early video), fromcomputer assisted instruction through to the use of the Internet, or from CDs to multi-media andmobile computing, it seems that it is the technology with "enormous potential" looking for aneducational problem to satisfy. In the current context of the undergraduate reforms, informationtechnologies are seen as being able to support the "a key enabler aiding institutions
