            Abstract : 
The main goal of this special session is to foster a continuing conversation within the FIE community about model-based reasoning in general and the essential role of diagrams in engineering education in particular. During this session, small groups of participants will develop categorization schemes using a collection of student diagrams. Groups will share their categorization schemes and ideas through a gallery walk.
