Terenzini on two NSF-funded stud- ies of engineering education: Prototype to Production and Prototyping the Engineer of 2020. She also worked with colleagues Lisa Lattuca, Patrick Terenzini, and J. Fredericks Volkwein on the Engineering Change study, a national study of the impact of engineering accreditation standards on student learning and engineering programs. Betty completed her Ph.D. in Higher Education at Penn State with a minor in Educational Psychology and graduate certificate in Institutional Research in May 2008. She was the recipient of graduate fellowships from both the Joseph M. Juran Center for

Page 25.256.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011Introduction There is broad recognition that meaningful learning requires that students master fundamentalconcepts. Understanding concepts and the connections among concepts is one of the primary distinctionsbetween experts and novices (Bransford et al., 2000; Chi, 2006;). Conceptual understanding is also aprerequisite for
