Dynamics Concept Inventory (DCI) – The Past, Present, and FutureAbstractThe Dynamics Concept Inventory (DCI) was developed over 15 years ago as a tool forinstructors teaching Dynamics to assess their students’ gains in conceptual understanding ofthe material. Since its initial release, there have been hundreds of downloads of theinstrument, and the initial papers presenting the instrument have been referenced over 100times. In this paper, we will 1) present a brief history of the development of the DCI, 2)evaluate the ways it has been used since its release with the hope of encouraging moreengineering faculty members to use it, 3) summarize results from those who have used it, and4) present plans for future development and distribution.History of

ER may play a role in engaging students with disabilities to further allow foracademic developments through robotics concepts and activities.Application of ER in a program for students with Down syndrome also yielded positive results[18]. As seen previously, the use of robotics was able to capture the attention of these studentsand enabled them to learn in a cooperative environment. Moreover, assessments suggested thatstudents with Down syndrome exhibited improvements in cognitive functions such as visuo-spatial working memory and mental planning after completing a robotics challenge [18]. Whilerecent work indicates that robotics is a viable tool to assist special needs students in overcomingtheir leaning and developmental

Their responses were found to be generally simplistic, forexample, engineers were commonly depicted as workers who constructed buildings or repairedcar engines, though older participants more frequently mentioned engineering design tasks. Themost common stereotypical actions youth perceive engineers to do are to design, plan, and orperform physical labor. Common images included tools, cars and computers. Consistent findingswere reported by a number of subsequent investigations using similar data collection methods(e.g. [1], [9]–[12]). Further, youth displayed signs of

As such, needs assessments usuallyestablish the hierarchical mindset and encourage delivery of engineering solutions irrespective ofa community’s ability to sustain it after the intervention is completed. ABCD solutions, on theother hand, focus on incorporating the community’s context-specific strengths into theengineering plan.
