(59) Engineering and (R) Research/ Assessment. This project is developing agreement about (and a means for testing) the fundamental concepts in engineering graphics. Its goal is to begin the process of developing a validated and tested concept inventory. The first step, the primary objective of this project, is a Delphi Study to identify the fundamental concepts in engineering graphics. The results will subsequently be used to develop a concept inventory for engineering graphics. Engineering graphics is often one of the largest enrollment courses within engineering. Much of engineering graphics education today tends to focus on the "tool of the day" rather than the fundamental concepts. Students are enrolled in engineering graphics within high schools, community colleges, and four-year institutions. Engineering students, technology students, and technician students all take engineering graphics courses. There has been little attempt to articulate between these courses across the various levels in the educational spectrum. A concept inventory for engineering graphics would: (1) enable high school teachers to ensure that the topics they cover translate well to higher education settings; (2) ensure a greater degree of articulation between 2-year and 4-year institutions; and (3) enable graphics curriculum reform at all levels.Concept Inventories have been developed for many fundamental courses in the STEM fields. In the past few decades, much work has been done in developing concept inventories for engineering courses. Concept inventories are viewed as a means for spurring curriculum reform because they allow faculty to design their courses with a focus on the fundamentals and they provide them with a validated means of assessing student understanding of these basic concepts.

（59）工程及(R)研究/评估。这个项目正在开发关于工程图学基本概念的协议（和测试的方法）。其目标是开始开发一个经过验证和测试的概念清单。第一步，这个项目的主要目标，是一个德尔菲研究，以确定工程图学的基本概念。结果随后将用于开发工程图形的概念清单。工程图学通常是工程学中招生人数最多的课程之一。今天的许多工程图学教育倾向于关注“当今的工具”，而不是基本概念。学生们在高中、社区大学和四年制大学里学习工程图形学。工程专业的学生、技术专业的学生和技术专业的学生都选修工程图学课程。很少有人尝试在不同教育层次的这些课程之间进行清晰的表达。工程图学的概念清单将：(1)使高中教师能够确保他们所涵盖的主题能够很好地转化为高等教育环境；(2)确保两年制院校与四年制院校更紧密衔接；(3)推动各级图形课程改革。概念清单是为STEM领域的许多基础课程开发的。在过去的几十年里，在为工程课程开发概念清单方面做了很多工作。概念量表被视为刺激课程改革的一种手段，因为它允许教师设计课程，重点放在基础知识上，并为他们提供了一种有效的方法来评估学生对这些基本概念的理解。
