Student Learning of Criterion 3 (a)‐(k) Outcomes with Short Instructional Modules and the Relationship to Bloom's Taxonomy

Abstract: Engineering accreditation criteria require that engineering graduates demonstrate competency with a set of skills identified in Criterion 3 (a)-(k). Because of a scarcity of instructional material on many of these topics, a team of engineering instructors developed and tested a set of short modules for teaching these skills. Using before and after module surveys, the students indicated their confidence in their ability to do specific tasks derived from the module's learning objectives. Data also were obtained … Show more

“…Other studies of this second type have used measures of student satisfaction as proxies for learning (Olds and Miller, 2004;Porter and Fuller, 1998). A third type of article has been prescriptive, laying out programmatic directions for engineering student learning, but not exploring empirically how or what students learned (Dym, 1999;Pimmel, 2003;Schneck, 2001). Worth noting also is that "learning" itself as a topical focus was a relatively uncommon one for JEE articles until recently.…”

“…In response to these changes, schools are now emphasizing how to incorporate these new criteria into engineering curricula [5] as well as how educational techniques can be augmented to better instill the required skills in students [6]. Although the analysis and evaluation of instructional modes for these new objectives are evident in the engineering education journals, there has not yet been consideration of how cooperative education fits in.…”

“…Figure-1 Bloom's revised taxonomy [4] II. BLOOM'S TAXONOMY AND ABET OUTCOMES What ABET refers to as "student outcomes" in its Engineering Criterion 3 (a) to (k) is a set of skills that engineering graduates need to successfully embark on a professional career [5]. Bloom's taxonomy also addresses the same issue, a set of educational objectives or goals, classified from lower to higher-order thinking, but for the whole spectrum of education rather than only engineering [6,7].…”
