Engineers who are educated in the German higher education system are expected to be able to apply their knowledge successfully in yet unknown situations; an ability for which functional understanding of the core concepts of a discipline is required. This dissertation discusses how to assess the effectiveness of research-based active learning materials to foster conceptual understanding in introductory engineering mechanics in three parts: It examines Concept Inventories as measurement instruments, discusses established and alternative analysis methods for the data gathered with these instruments, and demonstrates the effectiveness of Tutorials for Engineering Mechanics.
