IntroductionThe typical American University offers a one-semester, three-credit-hour course on energyconversion. This basic course, often mandatory for all electrical engineering students, deals withtransformers, motors, generators and basic parameters of transmission lines. In addition, ACcircuit theory is reviewed and phasors are regularly used for problem

interpret, switch between, and use multiplerepresentations of a concept as appropriate for learning, communication and analysis. Inengineering statics, an understanding of what each vector representation communicates and howto use different representations in problem solving is important to the development of bothconceptual and procedural knowledge. Science education literature identifies representationalcompetence as a marker of true conceptual understanding.This paper presents development work for a new assessment instrument designed to measurerepresentational competence with vectors in an engineering mechanics context. We developedthe assessment over two successive terms in statics courses at a community college, a medium-sized regional

While even in the most poorly designed research experience this mayoccur to some extent, the optimal method for delivery and preparation of students for soundresearch in engineering and science is not clear. Many research experiences are 8 to 10 weeksummer programs. Within these relatively short time frames the programs should carefullyconsider organization and structure in order to maximize impact. However, our knowledge onhow to best deliver research training is incomplete.
