Purpose of the Study In engineering courses taught by traditional methods, the education process involves asingle level approach to each topic; the professor attempts to offer the method that helps thegreatest number of students. When we look at the Bloom Taxonomy Pyramid, however, both atraditionally taught course and a course using the proposed method require that a student gothrough multiple methods to master a topic. This is achieved by the student through note-takingmethods, flash cards, study

Current pedagogical approaches entail a thorough description and analysis of the coreengineering principles in courses like Fluid & Solid Mechanics, as well as a more biologicallyinclined flavor for courses such as Physiology. While the traditional “textbook, pen & paper”approach enables students to master the fundamental concepts in engineering science, it provideslimited exposure to the biomedical application domain. Similarly, the biology- and physiology-flavored courses cater more to the application, without emphasizing the core engineeringprinciples and their effect on the application.2.

Instead of taking it just for one day, I felt like I was taking it for a whole week. A week long test is really stressful. Maybe give an option that you don’t have to retake if you don’t want to, so you would have the choice of either retaking the problem or accepting the grade that you received on the problem if you didn’t correct it.” “I believe the mastery grading is helpful.
