study was to use the author’s MOOC to: 1) develop high qualityassessment questions that examine a student’s understanding of combined static loading,2) determine what fundamental concepts student’s struggle with in combined staticloading, and 3) analyze which fundamental concepts in combined static loading arecritical for students to grasp in order for continued success in machine design and solidmechanics. The MOOC covers both static and fatigue failure theories, which arecommonly taught in mechanical engineering machine design courses. Results from thisstudy can be utilized to improve student understanding in solid mechanics and machinedesign courses by highlighting essential fundamental concepts as well as providing testedassessment

Concept inventories areusually brief, require minimal or no computations and ideally, produce reliable results acrossbroad and diverse student populations.16 Many cycles of design, testing and redesign arenecessary to develop calibrated inventories that lead to repeatable results.12,16 Conceptinventories lend themselves nicely to statistical analysis and are easy to score. Inventories havebeen very popular in probing students’ conceptual understanding in engineering education.They have been effective in identifying trouble areas in engineering courses and in assessing theeffectiveness of new instructional methods and educational reforms.In thermodynamics, concept

Since research suggests that studentconceptual development is enhanced through employment of engaging classroom practices, avariety of active pedagogies are being implemented in engineering education. Consequently,there is a need for assessment tools to monitor the learning outcomes of these educationalinterventions.

multiple institutions was analyzed. The ConceptInventory for Engineering Thermodynamics (CIET) and its Reversibility Sub-Test were used tomeasure conceptual understanding and change. Some classrooms used a series of inquiry-basedactivities in each key concept area as part of their instruction and some did not. Data was alsocollected on whether students had previously taken fluid dynamics and heat transfer courses.Finally, instructors were asked to indicate how they had implemented a packet of inquiry-basedactivities specifically designed to teach reversibility. Results showed that conceptualunderstanding of thermodynamics (five concept areas) as measured on the CIET wassignificantly higher for the inquiry-based activities group than the no

By exploring some of the assumptions about thedesign process that are implicit in these arguments we may gain insight into the learning aims and neededgoals for engineering design education.Introduction and BackgroundThree key components of the mechanisms described by evolutionary theory are random mutation, naturalselection, and time.

of design thinking to education contexts is not surprising. Scholars have notedsimilarities between design thinking and the models and practices used by expert instructionaldesigners3. For example, learner and context analysis are often important features of expertmodels and practices3–6 and connect to the empathic and user-oriented aspects of design7.However, scholars also recognize that differences between settings, even within instructionaldesign, may favor different practices4.

This shift has been met with varied levels of resistance and acceptance,while one study showed that 85% of higher education students prefer in-class learning [1].Models developed years ago don’t account for the dynamic nature of the education world and thestudents within it. As a result, there is demand for an understanding of the unique set of needspresented by Generation Z, the
