The correlation between cloud-basedtechnologies and Bloom’s Taxonomy based learning objectives has been investigated. Althoughtheir research focuses on a broader scope of higher education, their insights are relevant inengineering discipline. Particularly, the interplay between the observable factors and latentfactors that influence the adoption of cloud based technologies is highlighted in insightfulmanner.

The White dominant perspective, or dominant social paradigm (DSP), istypically characterized as a world view in which humans subdue or conquer the natural world inorder to support technological progress [5]. This paradigm is so embedded in engineering that itis considered the norm, hence, we need an understanding of how other worldviews can also beincorporated in engineering. Since worldviews are often influenced by individuals’ homecultures [6], conflict and marginalization can particularly occur when a student’s worldviewdiffers from the anthropocentric worldview that dominates White cultures – includingengineering education. A person’s worldview has been defined as “the perspective, or thinking,or
