Concept MapsAbstractThis paper describes a work-in-progress study investigating the use of concept mapping forassessing students’ conceptual knowledge over a semester in a biomedical engineering modelingcourse. The concept maps are used to evaluate the evolution of students’ skills in developingmathematical models that describing biological systems and students’ specific contentknowledge as they complete problem-based learning projects. As students gain experiencedeveloping mathematical models to answer open-ended problem-based learning questions, wehypothesize that their conceptual understanding of mathematical modeling and of the biologicalsystems studied will increase. This improved conceptual understanding is reflected by conceptmaps with

To examine how well students have been able to understand theEngineering Mindset, students in a first-year engineering course and a multidisciplinaryengineering capstone course were asked to make a concept map about the Engineering Mindset.The prompt asked students to complete a concept mapping exercise to benchmark theirknowledge about Engineering Mindset that is required in the Engineering Design or ProductDevelopment Process. The students were asked to implement a visual representation of ideas forthe Engineering Mindset using concept maps, and then the concept maps were scored on thecomplexity of the students’ understanding of the topic using the traditional concept map scoringmethod.

complete research study was to evaluate the efficacy of how these projectsfurther an EM in the honors FYEP. We focused on one specific attribute of EM which wasmaking connections. Our primary research question was: Are there differences in students’ability to make connections between different first-year engineering design projects? Thepurpose of the comparison was to determine whether both projects provided equal value to thefirst-year students regarding their ability to learn to make connections. To answer our researchquestion, we used concept maps developed during the 2021-2022 academic year. We scored asubset of 22 maps (n = 11 from the robot design project, n = 11 from the nanotechnologyresearch project) with an adapted traditional scoring

These practices included making real-worldconnections to the course materials, using concept maps to depict the connections between high-level concepts and lower-level facts, incorporating cartoon pictures into the classroom to add asense of humor, and a gamified approach in the form of a Jeopardy-style game.

Wecollected the questionnaires after the session and analyzed the students’ answers. To helpidentify common themes, we compiled their answers to Q1 and Q2 using both a task diagramand a concept map in Fig. 1 and 2. The goal of a task diagram is to get an initial overview of a cognitive task and thenidentify the challenging aspects, or cognitive complexity. It is important to note that this exerciserequires tasks that are cognitively challenging. Tasks that are too vague or too simple will giveless meaningful and vague data. Fig. 1. Task diagram

This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

development of methods to measure shared mental models. In this case, we definemeasurement to include a process of first eliciting the mental model (i.e., what is the content)from the individual or team, then interpreting the elicitation to generate the model itself (i.e.,how that content is structured) and finally determining any insights that might be derived fromthe model. For example, in Badke-Schaub et al. (2007), in an evaluation of the concept of mentalmodels for research with design teams, the authors identify three mental model measurementtechniques that have been used previously: relatedness judgments of concepts, concept mapping,and observations.
