This can be achieved by a concept inventory. In the process of developing the CECI-Control Engineering Concept Inventory-first drafts of items were exposed to students in interviews. The interviews yielded insights into student understanding, the process of developing items along with the interviews, and the role of example systems in qualitative questions. These findings are transferable to other domains of engineering, they are not only relevant to control engineering instructors but to everyone involved in teaching engineering.enConference PaperConference Paper
