interconnectedness. Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is seen as important notonly for researchers but also for a diverse, technologically literate workforce and for an educatedand informed citizenry (National Science Board, 2000; Cost Engineering, 1996). Despite theobservation that America's basic research in science, math, and engineering is world class, itseducation is still not mature. Too many students leave STEM courses because they find themdull and unwelcoming. Too many new teachers enter school systems unprepared, without reallyunderstanding the relevance of STEM courses to the development of scientific and technologicalliteracy in students. They also lack the excitement of discovery and the confidence and ability

little doubt that one lesson and one homework assignment are not sufficient to develop acommitment to both understand and practice professional ethics, but the assignment provides anintroduction to this field, to be continued elsewhere in an engineering curriculum. In addition, atthe end of the course, there is no available evidence as to whether students had changed theirown ethical decision making process, or what their disposition was with respect to thestakeholders’ perspectives in the in-class exercise.Ethical ConsiderationsThe data from consenting participants will have been de-identified prior to analysis, inaccordance with IRB regulations [13].

ConcepTests evaluate the readers’ understanding by integrating the concepts intoquestions that force the learners to evaluate their own arguments for certain multiple-choiceanswers while selecting one final answer. Thus, the learners’ considered reasoning before selectingan answer allows for evaluation of conceptual understanding. However, few ConcepTests havebeen developed for Process Control courses.As an extra credit assignment in a Process Control course at Northeastern University, studentswere given the opportunity to write ConcepTest questions of their own for use with

universities are seriously debated in this literature.Key in general to our current work is the question of whether student perception relates tostudent learning. A common term in this literature is “constructive alignment”10 which describesthe concept that the curriculum is designed so that the learning and assessment are aligned. Ifthis is effectively accomplished, students in turn attain the goals intended for the course. In thisview, students are responsible for their own learning and the expectation is that there isconsistency between student perceptions of learning and the actual results. Kunh and Rundle-Thiel11 are an example of a study built on this premise and they found student perception oflearning was correlated with actual student
