Althoughinventories have been developed specifically for engineering classes [1, 2], a solid grasp ofrelevant physics concepts is also key to success in engineering mechanics classes.

Skinner at Harvard and Charles Ferster at the Institute for Behavioral Research inMaryland. Generally, they ask the same question that besets us today – “Why do my students refuseto learn?” Keller devised a plan (with help from his many students and collaborators), which wasdesigned to maximize learning by stressing achievement and positive reinforcement. This approachhas come to be called The Keller Plan, Self-Paced Instruction, or the Personalized System of In-struction. The key elements of the system are: • Clear educational objectives • Small learning modules with associated achievement tests and immediate feedback
