Concept maps are used to assess the knowledge and understanding of a specific topicarea. The graphical representation of the concept map, through nodes and links, captures abroader perspective and comprehensive knowledge of the centralized idea by the participant.In this work, we explore the development of a master concept map as a tool that can be usedwhen assessing students’ understanding of the EM.

are effective interventions in providing students with a holistic understanding of adomain while also allowing understanding of relationships among parts and across theengineering curricula. Yet when the domain of application is large, concept maps becomeoverburdened with too much information and complexity. A function of the individual learners’cognitive load abilities, this phenomenon (termed “map shock”) results in student disengagementand reduction of expected learning gains. This limitation prevents the creation of concept mapsthat provide a unified framework for engineering knowledge across courses and curricula.To address these limitations, the authors apply theoretical research on adaptive expertise, conceptmaps, and information

The goal is to improve students’ comprehension,retention, and interconnectivity of complex course topics. We have systematically integratedconcept mapping into four distinct courses: a freshman course about electronics (ECE 110), asophomore course about signal processing (ECE 210), and two junior-level courses aboutelectromagnetics (ECE 329) and green energy (ECE 333). In each course, students were asked tocreate their own concept maps before midterm exams. The maps were scored qualitatively by theinstructor based on the number of concepts and their structures.
