Abstract There has been considerable recent emphasis on valid assessment of learning in engineering education. When new teaching pedagogies are introduced, it can be very challenging to demonstrate increases in learning of course concepts. While there are a number of accepted concept inventories available for some engineering topics (statics and dynamics, heat and energy, signals and systems, and statistics), reliable and valid tools for assessing learning are not readily available for many curriculum areas, including engineering economy. This paper discusses the reliability and validity of the Engineering Economy Concept Inventory (EECI) that can be used to assess learning in any introductory engineering economy course. Development of the EECI began in 2009 for use in assessing the effectiveness of model-eliciting activities in the classroom and has since been revised and reformulated a number of times. In the fall of 2018, the EECI was administered at multiple institutions for further evaluation of its validity and results from these groups of students are presented. The paper concludes with remarks regarding the reliability and validity of the instrument and recommendations for its use as a tool to assess knowledge in engineering economy.

一个工程经济概念清单

摘要 最近，工程教育中对学习的有效评估引起了相当大的重视。当引入新的教学法时，证明课程概念学习的增加可能非常具有挑战性。虽然对于某些工程主题（静力学和动力学、热和能量、信号和系统以及统计学）有许多公认的概念清单可用，但许多课程领域（包括工程经济学）还没有可靠和有效的评估学习的工具. 本文讨论了工程经济概念清单 (EECI) 的可靠性和有效性，该清单可用于评估任何介绍性工程经济课程的学习情况。EECI 的开发始于 2009 年，用于评估课堂模拟启发活动的有效性，此后经过多次修订和重新制定。2018 年秋季，EECI 在多个机构进行管理，以进一步评估其有效性，并展示了这些学生群体的结果。本文最后评论了该工具的可靠性和有效性，并建议将其用作评估工程经济学知识的工具。
