The project is using the Imen-Delphi procedure to capture and categorize expected outcomes and assessment methods in first-year engineering courses and then using these results to define a classification schemes or set of models for these courses. This methodology for developing a consensus follows a proven technique designed to allow a large panel of experts to develop shared images of schemes based on a limited number of rounds of survey data. It has been proven to be successful in the development of a consensus for groups striving to specify characteristics leading to definitions of vaguely defined industries or programs This process is being followed by a workshop to investigate the defined models with their associated outcomes and assessment strategies in order to identify assessment gaps. These classifications would guide the engineering community in the development of first-year courses that have some coherency across institutions and facilitate transfer credit, encourage joint course development, and more effectively connect the first-year course to the rest of the curriculum. Results are being widely disseminated through conference papers, workshops, and journal articles.

该项目正在使用Imen-Delphi程序来捕获和分类第一年工程课程的预期成果和评估方法，然后使用这些结果来定义这些课程的分类方案或模型集。这种达成共识的方法遵循一种行之有效的技术，旨在让一个大型专家小组根据有限的几轮调查数据，对各种计划形成共同的看法。事实证明，它成功地为努力具体说明导致定义模糊的行业或方案的定义的特征的团体达成了共识。 这些分类将指导工程界开发第一年的课程，这些课程在各机构之间具有一定的一致性，并促进学分转移，鼓励联合课程开发，并更有效地将第一年的课程与课程的其余部分联系起来。 通过会议文件、讲习班和期刊文章广泛传播成果。
