achieve similargoals as presented in this paper.Appropriate Taxonomies for AssessmentTo assess the effectiveness of an engineering course for non-engineers with the EDP requiresadopting a broader context of taxonomies than traditionally may be employed. A commonapproach is to utilize the work done by Benjamin Bloom’s 1950’s education committee. Thecommittee established a set of taxonomies in three learning domains: cognitive, affective andpsychomotor. The domains have been identified as, “arguably one of the most influentialeducation monographs of the past half century 4.” The taxonomies are a language that isproposed to describe the progressive development of an individual in each domain and aredefined as follows 5: • Cognitive: of

scrutiny in thepast decade. As cited later, there have been concerns expressed that graduate programshave become less focused on preparing civil engineers for the professional practice ofcivil engineering and more focused on engineering research. An added concern in thisperceived trend has been that the future educators of civil engineers who graduate withPh.D.’s may be less prepared to foster the best possible learning in practical civilengineering design. These concerns may or may not be justified, but the current dialoguecertainly provides an opportunity for civil engineering departments to reexamine theirgraduate programs to identify whether they are doing to their best to prepare theirgraduates.

A department ABET Program Evaluator (PEV) reviewed and prepared a preliminary mapping of all of the outcomes, including mapping of previous outcomes to new BOK3 outcomes. This information was presented in a faculty meeting, and followed by a dialogue about how to proceed with development of outcomes using ASCE BOK3. At this time, the department also discussed whether other outcomes could be needed, and added “Service” to our list.2.
