These three core competencies are also engineeringeducational objectives as dictated by ABET criteria21. Increasing the design component in theundergraduate curriculum better prepares graduates for engineering practice, the end result being a well-rounded engineer. Traditional engineering courses provided graduates with little, if any, experience inengineering application.

It was also recognized that it would be important tonot only understand the curriculum as written, but also understand how teachers enacted thecurriculum in their classrooms. We had reason to believe that differences in teacher training, andexperience and attitudes towards STEM would result in differing approaches to instruction, andthat direct observation of classrooms would be the best way to understand and document theseinstructional strategies. In the first six months the research team spent time observing classroominstructional practice using a structured but flexible observation protocol (see

In the author’s situation,substantial changes to the physics-mechanics class resulted in significant gains in the FCI testscores. Those gains indicate an improved understanding of conceptual knowledge from start toend of that particular course. What is not clear is how lasting those gains are. That is, do thegains in conceptual understanding carry through to subsequent courses that make use of the sameconcepts?This paper
