Developing an Engineering TaxonomyIn 1956, Benjamin Bloom first published his widely known taxonomy5. He identified six levelswithin the cognitive domain: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, andevaluation. The taxonomy advanced teaching and learning by motivating educators to create amore integrated method of educating students. During the 1990’s, a new group of cognitivepsychologists, led by Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, updated the taxonomy toreflect relevance to 21st century work. Table 1 summarizes both old and new taxonomy levels6. Old Bloom’s Taxonomy Version ew Bloom’s Taxonomy Version Knowledge Define, duplicate, list, memorize, Remembering Can the

Currently two large sections (i.e. 70 students/section) are offered each semester andadditional sections are projected for the future. Many of the elements of the course could beadopted directly as embedded indicators for ABET assessment tools. The level of the outcomespecified in the new class in the areas of leadership, professional and ethical responsibility, andteamwork meets the level suggested in ASCE’s BOK2. When coupled with the total collegeincentives, the level of the leadership outcome surpasses BOK2’s requirements.The topics of this course naturally lead to a great deal of student discussion.

This is a serious and difficultquestion often raised as “how do I assess the individual working within the project team?” [2][7].But it is more than how to arrive at a grade. For the instructor, s/he wants to provide formativefeedback early and often during the project to help the student understand the larger context of aspecific issue and how it applies in the real world. For the student, gaining an awareness of thecause-and-effect of her/his choices and actions within a team, and how those judgments translateto the real world is important.

They were extendedat 0.02cm/s and the test continued until the failure (fracture) of the specimen. The students notedthe elongation to break (strain) and ultimate strength (Mpa) of the specimens. Given that thethree groups had to begin at various stations to make the laboratory time effective, samples weregiven to the initial testing group to test. The group that began with testing moved to thesimulation station next.Once the three groups had completed the three different exercises at the three stations, they metand discussed their results and finding.
