Our goal is to construct a rich mixtureof questions requiring and encouraging student’s intellectual effort on all Bloom’s levels. Thetaxonomy (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) providesa useful structure in which to categorize questions.

mathematics, engineering science,and yes, “design.” If you had the proper number of credits for each of the required ABET areas, itwas felt that the students were well prepared to be engineers. There was always the question ofwhether faculty really knew what “design” was because many had no experience in engineeringdesign. By the 1960’s most engineering schools had the four major programs, civil, electrical,mechanical, chemical and some universities had programs in mining and metallurgical engineering,petroleum, aeronautical and nuclear engineering. There were likely more accredited programs innuclear engineering then, than the 21 we have today. The demand for nuclear engineers waned andreactors were expensive burdens on institutions so programs were
