(p. 117) With these considerations in mind, we present our research as one component of a largermission that seeks to provide a framework for K-12 students to engage the engineering designprocess through their self-determined interests. While organizations such as the NationalResearch Council and National Academy of Engineering communicate concerns for the increaseof women and minority participation in engineering, students also need the liberty to expresstheir individual diversity within engineering8.

They are widely used in educational settings,particularly in STEM fields, to identify misconceptions and measure conceptual understanding.This paper examines the use of an existing concept inventory (CI) to assess students’ grasp of thecore concepts in a Mass and Energy Balances (M&EB) course within a traditional ChemicalEngineering (ChE) undergraduate program at a large R1 university. The use of the CI in thisstudy was exploratory, with no efforts to identify or address misconceptions through instructionimplemented at the time of writing.Mass & Energy Balances, or Material

intensive, hands-on, motivationalexperience where each student would build, program, and develop the interface between theprogramming board and the robot hardware. We hoped that along the way the students wouldlearn about different engineering fields, computer science, and also the basics of computerprogramming and interfacing. The course concluded with a robot competition. Studentscompeted to see which robot could go through an unknown maze without bumping into mazewalls in the shortest time. The course objectives included: 1) Take the mystery out ofengineering and computing, 2) Show that engineering and computer science is fun and exciting,3) Demonstrate that engineering is for both women and men, 4) Emphasize hands-on, learn bydoing exercises
