In the Concept-in-Context mapswe are linking a wide array of different types of information that reflect the organization ofcontent within a topical area in an introductory materials course. As such, topics can becharacterized and articulated with multiple representations that can include equations, graphs,charts, macroscopic images, microscopic images, engineering components, and historical

A key dynamic in the mentor training process is finding a balancebetween technical knowledge and the intrapersonal skills necessary to create a supportivelearning environment. The College of Technology – Computer Engineering Technology (CoT –CETE) program at the University of Houston has implemented an undergraduate peer mentoringmodel as part of an NSF-sponsored program examining the impact of concept mapping andundergraduate mentors on student learning. The training for this mentoring model has beenadapted from a peer-led team learning program and incorporates concept mapping as a primarypedagogical tool for increasing mentee understanding of

A central component of this project was the development of a peer-mentoringmodel that would contribute to the academic success of underrepresented students. It was proposed thatthe peer-mentoring activity would enhance the current curricular model by reinforcing academic conceptsand knowledge while also providing guidance and insight about the degree program as a whole.

, and any two textbooks are likely to follow very different paths. Web-basedpresentation of the material removes part of this problem because the material need not bepresented linearly, but raises the prospect of a chaotic portrayal of the subjects because HTMLlinks are merely from text to text and have no inherent meaning.Another way to present such interrelated ideas is through the use of topic maps. Topic maps areused to represent these interrelationships using topics (concepts), associations (the relationshipsbetween topics) and occurrences (information, e.g., web pages, relating to the topics). This isdistinct from concept maps and other commonly used visual methods for organizing informationin that the ideas need not be hierarchical; for

In this context, the term "transfer map" refers to a version of a "concept map"in which the concepts represent transferable knowledge/skills. Concept maps are visualmechanisms that illustrate the organization of concepts and the connections between them.22They are a useful tool to support learning and assessment, and have been used effectively inengineering education to represent domains of knowledge and increase student understanding ofthe structure and relationships between various topics.23,24 The "transfer map" twist provides theopportunity for teams to identify, synthesize, represent, and organize the team's transferablelearning.Both the

In 2002 handouts were replaced withweb pages with screen captures of key steps in the assignment. Streaming video demonstrationsreplaced these static web pages in 2007. As part of a parallel evaluation activity, faculty havebeen identifying key concepts that need to be covered in the course based on textbook conceptsand industry practice and creating a formal inventory of how these concepts map to courseinstructional resources.It is possible that some might consider these skills rather than concepts.
