“…The objective of this study was to identify the SCA necessary for an examinee to answer correctly an item. The completion of this phase required two questions to be answered: (1) what are the cognitive attributes required for each of the items in CATS and (2) how can these attributes be determined? Each question will be addressed individually on the following sections.…”

“…Based on this information, the item was then analyzed to determine the requirements for students to select the appropriate FBD from the alternatives provided. For each of the instrument items, two questions were answered: (1) what concepts does an examinee require for choosing the correct answer, and 2what might cause an examinee to choose one of the distractors?…”

“…For the past several years, programs within the National Science Foundation (NSF) have provided funding to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) educators to encourage the creation of various discipline specific concept inventories 1 . A concept inventory (CI) is a multiple-choice instrument designed to evaluate whether a person has an accurate, working knowledge of a specific set of concepts 2 .…”

“…Following the research in the physics community, engineering educators are aware of misconceptions held by students and are responding with concept inventories in mechanics and several other subject areas. A current initiative is coordinated through the Foundation Coalition 26 to "reinvigorate" the use of concept inventories in the STEM disciplines. An excellent overview of the design, implementation, and uses of concept inventories in several areas of engineering is provided by Richardson 28 ), equating to an average relative gain of 59%.…”

“…The author is certainly not the first to do so. In fact, the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop ("Assessing the State of STEM Concept Inventories: A National Workshop" DUE-0731232) and a subsequent panel session was held at the 2007 Frontiers in Education Conference (jointly sponsored by ASEE and IEEE) to discuss CIs as a tool to facilitate better teaching and learning [16].…”
