As the workby Hestenes and Halloun on the Force Concept Inventory has shown, students may pass scienceand engineering courses but still retain alternate conceptions about the topics presented in thecourses. Therefore, substantial interest in concept inventory assessment instruments for manyengineering subjects, e.g., materials, signals and systems, fluid mechanics, has been generatedand numerous projects are underway. Since smart materials are being introduced intoundergraduate engineering curricula, assessing students’ understanding of these smart materialswould be reasonable. Therefore, two new concept inventories, one on shape memory alloys andone on piezoelectric materials, are being developed as part of a Combined Research

Studentteams are allowed to modify the chemistry of their alloys within the competition limits (up to tenweight percent alloy content) but must justify why changes were made. The teams then weighout all the components of the alloy, melt it in an induction furnace and pour two billets forprocessing. Figure 2 shows examples of the alloy components weighed out
