Cross-Time Attitudes, Concept Formation, and Achievement in College Freshman Physics.

Explores the relationships among science and engineering attitudes, physics conceptual understanding, and physics achievement for a population of college freshman engineering students. Assesses a sample of freshman engineering students (n=200) participating in an integrated curriculum with the Force Concepts Inventory (FCI), Mechanics Baseline Test (MBT), and a locally developed attitude measure.
