some results of an ongoing engineering education project funded by the NSFTUES-Type 1 program. Research has shown that conceptual understanding plays a critical rolein students’ problem-solving performance. Assessing conceptual understanding is important inorder to design the most appropriate pedagogy to improve students’ problem-solvingperformance. The conventional way to assess conceptual understanding is to conduct assessmenttests (such as the Concept Inventory Test) and/or interviews. In the present study, whichinvolves student learning in a foundational engineering dynamics course, conceptualunderstanding was assessed through student-generated concept maps. Guided by active learningtheory, students developed their own concept maps after

, Engineering and Society strives to clarify students’perceptions of the broad nature of engineering problem solving, and to positively impact theirattitudes toward engineering studies and careers.Since 2011, when the course was piloted on a large scale, we have administered a self-constructed questionnaire to measure student attitudes before and after taking the course. Ourfindings have consistently shown a significant increase in students’ understanding of the broadnature of engineering and engineering problem solving, self-confidence with respect toengineering problem solving and design, and their sense of fit within the engineering profession.These increases were also significantly greater than those measured among the fall semestercontrol group

Reviewer’s Comments1. a) The manuscript is not organzied and poorly written. b) While it can be expaneded to topics other than "mechanics of material," the lack of proper presentation of the methodology makes it difficult to understand to educators outside this filed.2. a) The paper exhaustively discusses the interview process for a small group of students. It concludes with a discussion of their analysis of stresses in a member exposed to three different loading cases. b) This paper will be of interest to those involved with solid mechanics (Mechanical and Civil engineers). c) There are some grammar and spelling issues that need to be addressed. d) The abstract
