| Sažetak: | Concept inventory produced as part of a project that focused on essential and critical foundational concepts that substantively define the thresholds or portals for engineering students of any discipline. These concepts are the ones that 'open up' the terrain and facilitate learning of students in upper years. A unique opportunity arose at UWA to design an engineering program based on an understanding of these concepts. Engineering students will in future take an Engineering Science Major as part of a Bachelor of Science and within this will be a common foundational program. It was proposed to design the new foundation program based on threshold concept theory and the study of foundational thresholds. This threshold concept inventory is designed as a tool for educators, to complement the Guide for Engineering Educators on Curriculum Renewal using Threshold Concepts. This inventory could be used by engineering educators to help focus teaching, learning, and assessment on concepts that are most critical to students' progress and most troublesome for students. |
