The implementation of these instruments hasrevealed similar very poor results in terms of students’ understanding of fundamentalengineering concepts2, 3. The generally high graduation rates, grades, and passing rateson the FE exam, compared to the generally low success rates on concept inventories,suggest that students are frequently using equations they do not understand. Efforts toreform engineering education to improve conceptual understanding must begin withresearch to identify students’ pre- and misconceptions.The particular course of interest to this project is Mechanics of Materials (MOM)(alternately called Strength of Materials).Project Goal and ObjectivesThe goal of this project

With this mindset, we postulate that materialsresearch is entering discipline unspecific mindset, meaning that researchers across disciplines areinterested and able to contribute to solving key problems. That is, researchers in materialsscience and engineering projects self-select based on interests which are independent ofacademic training. This hypothesis will be tested by analyzing the correlation between academicmajor and department of the research advisor for ~ 150 applicants to the NSF-site REU programat the USF FMMI.
