Designing upper-division thermal physics assessment items informed by faculty perspectives of key content coverage

Though several conceptual inventories have been developed for thermal physics, none target upper-division material and all focus specifically on thermodynamics without including statistical mechanics content. In this paper, we outline the development process of an upper-division thermal physics asse...
