Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: This study reports the factor analysis of Statics Concept Inventory (SCI) data collected from 95 practicing civil engineers in the Pacific Northst. In comparison to students' responses reported from previous studies, the analysis of the engineers' data yielded a different number of underlying latent traits and different loading patterns of the SCI items on each trait. The study revealed that engineers' responses to the SCI might reflect the conceptual coherence associated with knowledge of engineering practice. The engineers' combination of discreet concepts into broader and meaningful concepts in this study might provide the evidence about experts' characteristics in processing, organizing, and storing knowledge in chunks. Understanding the experts' knowledge structure would help inform the development of curricular materials and assessment instruments for undergraduate engineering education.
