AB  -      A NanoElectronics Concept Inventory: a tool to assess student learning of                            fundamental conceptsIt is widely recognized that understanding of fundamental concepts related to the operation ofnanoelectronic devices is essential for their modeling, design, and development. Thesefundamental concepts are from the areas of Hamiltonian Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, SolidState Physics, and Semiconductor Materials. It is very challenging to teach these fundamentalconcepts to undergraduate students in such a way that they not only have a good understandingof the concepts but also are able to apply them to solve problems associated with the design anddevelopment of nanoelectronic devices.We have developed a senior/junior level course to teach these fundamental concepts to studentswith electrical engineering major. It was followed by a design projects course in which studentsdesigned and implemented a nanoelectronic device. We developed the Nanoelectronics ConceptInventory to assess student learning of fundamental concepts in the first course. The assessmentcan be used to improve and enhance pedagogical techniques employed. The assessment can besupplemented by the observation of student performance during the design project course. Aliterature search indicated that ours is the first attempt at the development of a NanoElectronicsConcept Inventory (NCI).The NCI was developed by a process which has been widely used for the development ofconcept inventories for various subjects. In NCI, the concepts were grouped into threecategories: computational nanotechnology, nanoelectronic materials and devices, and nanodevicecharacterization and fabrication. Each multiple-choice question related to a single concept withone correct answer and three incorrect answers (distractors). The NCI has been administered andthe scores have been analyzed using psychometric tools as well as the observed performance ofstudents on the design projects. The results so far have been very encouraging.
