Description
Learning outcomes in engineering education, in addition to practical knowledge, include understanding concepts from natural sciences and mathematics as an important factor in strengthening engineering competencies and skills. The research was conducted using standardized conceptual tests in mechanics and electromagnetism among first-year undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students during several years. The data analysis of tests was performed by statistical methods (Classical test theory, Item response theory). The common "distractors" and levels of confidence in problematic tasks are discussed. The results indicate better understanding of concepts from mechanics, and difficulties in application of Newton's laws in the context of electromagnetism.
