development of FCI, outlined its structure and reviewed findings from itsimplementation. Shallcross developed a concept inventory for assessing student learning in abasic material and energy balance subject3. His aim was to identify the misconceptions that thestudents may have when they start the subject. By comparing the pre- and post- test results anassessment could be made of the extent to which these misconceptions have been corrected. AChemical Engineering Fundamentals Concept Inventory (CEFCI) was developed andimplemented by Ngothai and Davis4. Their main objective was to have a quantitative means forpredicting areas in which course development could be focused. Using statistical methods, theyperformed a rigorous analysis of test results

discipline of chemical engineering (ChE) focusedon concept-based instruction. The project plan is to develop and promote the use of a cyber-enabled infrastructure for conceptual questions, the AIChE Concept Warehouse, whichultimately could be used throughout the core ChE curriculum (Material and Energy Balances,Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science).Conceptual questions, both as Concept Inventories and ConcepTests, will be available throughan interactive website maintained through the Education Division of the American Institute ofChemical Engineers (AIChE), the discipline’s major professional society. The overall objectiveis to lower the activation barrier for using conceptual instruction and
