related to "ease ofimplementation" of innovative teaching and learning strategies and materials in STEM, andparticularly so for engineering. To begin to address this need, a collection of innovativematerials, activities, and assessments across nine topics of an introductory materials class hasbeen created as a "Teaching Tool Kit" available on the web at http://concept.asu.edu/. Toincrease the potential for instructors adapting tools, the tool kit was designed to modify, but stillfit within, the framework of an already-existing publisher's book and slide set. As such, theprimary component in the tool kit is the nine topic-based, multi-class module note sets developedby modifying an already-existing set of chapter slides. Additionally, the

What remains to be done, however, is to research waysof correcting these misconceptions through effective teaching practice.To complicate matters beyond merely prior knowledge, many of the threshold concepts related toengineering are difficult to teach even in the absence of preexisting misconceptions. Streveler etal. summarize research that shows that many engineering concepts are difficult to grasp becausethey involve “emergent phenomena,” which occur indirectly as a result of the underlyingprinciples and cannot be readily observed [7]. Another study reported in their article found thatconcepts such as force, heat, current, and light are difficult because students tend to internallyrepresent these

The course focused on a single process and wasdesigned for students in a specific nanosystems engineering program.
