Summary:This paper describes our initial attempts at developing a concept inventory for a microelectronics course. The methodology for selecting the core concepts to be tested and the development of the questions are described. Results of the assessment data indicate some areas where student conceptual understanding is weak. The proposed method to improve the concept inventory is also detailed.
