1.+Blooms+Taxonomy

 A taxonomy that defines six levels of cognitive mastery. The AE and ME programs use Bloom's taxonomy to define the desired mastery for each of its curricular objectives and outcomes and to define the general course learning objectives in the program [|articulation matrix]. The six levels of mastery (learning), in order of increasing mastery are: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. A brief summary of the activities associated with each level is given below (clicking on the level will bring up more detail for that level).
 * 1) At [|Knowledge] Level of Learning a student can define terms
 * 2) At [|Comprehension] Level of Learning a student can work assigned problems and can example what they did
 * 3) At [|Application] Level of Learning a student recognizes what methods to used and then used the methods to solve problems
 * 4) At [|Analysis] Level of Learning a student can explain why the solution process works
 * 5) At [|Synthesis] Level of Learning a student can combine the part of a process in new and useful ways
 * 6) At [|Evaluation] Level of Learning a student can create a variety of ways to solve the problem and then, based on established criteria, select the solution method best suited for the problem.
