AC 2009-589: REPAIRING MISCONCEPTIONS: A CASE STUDY WITH ADVANCED ENGINEERING STUDENTS ON THEIR USE OF SCHEMA TRAINING MODULES Dazhi Yang, Purdue University Dazhi Yang is a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. She obtained both her master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Educational Technology from Purdue in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Prior to joining the School of Engineering Education, Dr. Yang worked on a variety of interdisciplinary research projects in instructional design, distance and online learning, assessment and evaluation, technology integration, and information security and assurance in K12 schools. She is the 2009 Young Researcher Award winner from the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Special Interest Group: Instructional Technology. Her current research interests are innovative instructional strategies for helping students learn difficult engineering concepts, assessment and evaluation, and technology-enhanced learning. Ruth Streveler, Purdue University Ruth A. Streveler is an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Before coming to Purdue she spent 12 years at Colorado School of Mines, where she was the founding Director of the Center for Engineering Education. Dr. Streveler earned a BA in Biology from Indiana University-Bloomington, MS in Zoology from the Ohio State University, and Ph.D in Educational Psychology from the University of Hawaii at M?noa. Her primary research interest is investigating students’ understanding of difficult concepts in engineering science. Ronald Miller, Colorado School of Mines Dr. Ronald L. Miller is professor of chemical engineering and Director of the Center for Engineering Education at the Colorado School of Mines where he has taught chemical engineering and interdisciplinary courses and conducted engineering education research for the past 23 years. Dr. Miller has received three university-wide teaching awards and has held a Jenni teaching fellowship at CSM. He has received grant awards for education research from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education FIPSE program, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and has published widely in the engineering education literature. He won the Wickenden Award from the American Society for Engineering Education for best paper published in the Journal of Engineering Education during 2005. Aidsa Santiago, Purdue Aidsa I. Santiago-Román is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. Aidsa has been teaching math and engineering courses to undergraduate students in Puerto Rico for about 12 years. Since 2000 she has been an instructor in the Department of Engineering Science and Materials at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez, which is considered the Leading Hispanic Engineering Institution in the US. In 2007, she started her doctoral studies and has been a research assistant in the area of engineering student misconceptions in statics and thermal and transport sciences. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Page 14.1023.1
