AB  - The Dynamics Concept Inventory (DCI) was developed approximately 20 years ago as a tool for instructors teaching Dynamics to assess their students’ gains in conceptual understanding of the material. Since its initial release, there have been hundreds of downloads of the DCI, and the initial paper presenting it has been referenced over 150 times.  Although the DCI is an excellent tool for engineering mechanics instructors, the purpose of this study is to develop a second instrument that focuses primarily on rigid body dynamics concepts. Following advances in concept inventory development, we want to be sure each question concentrates on one concept and that there are three questions per concept. Contrary to the best practices of concept inventories, the DCI does not always have three questions per concept and some of its questions test more than one concept. The new concept inventory will identify concepts that do not overlap with established instruments that focus on particle dynamics such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI). This inventory will provide new information on dynamics concepts that can complement the results from the other concept inventories. In this paper we will present preliminary work to develop a concept inventory for rigid body dynamics that has the following characteristics:
1.	Three questions per concept. 
2.	No more than 9 or 10 concepts for a total of 27 or 30 questions.
3.	No FCI questions.
4.	Designed to facilitate making it adaptive in the future.

The original Delphi study used for the DCI was reexamined to identify the relevant concepts and the proposed questions will be developed during the 2023 Fall semester.  We plan on deploying the instrument during the Spring of 2024 and develop an assessment plan to evaluate the draft questions for reliability and validity.  The questions will eventually be tested at five different universities to examine the difficulty and discrimination indices, and limited think-aloud studies will be conducted. Questions will be deployed using the Concept Warehouse, which houses many candidate questions that may be considered for the new concept inventory.
