Recognizing the importance of an understanding of materials and theirproperties, Conceptual Physics is a required portion of the Design curriculum. One difficultywith previous iterations of this course has been in matching the aim of physics instruction withthe needs of the design fields. Previously, students failed to associate class ideas with theirspecialization, and engagement in the course suffered. As a new member of the Sciences faculty,I was asked to develop a fresh interpretation of Conceptual Physics in closer coordination withdesign objectives. I found this to be an intriguing challenge, and reasoned that the best basis fromwhich to draw was my

This distinction is significant because a) there is a perceiveddisassociation between STEM fields and communal goals, and b) women are more likely thanmen to endorse communal goals3,4.
