Sustainability Engineering and International development
(SEID) course in Fall 2013
• SEID is an interdisciplinary course with students from different
engineering majors
• Average size of class about 35 students
• Started the study in Fall 2014

Survey
Mapping Outcomes and Assessment to a
Bloom’s Taxonomy Table: course alignment and
student assessment as cognitive heat maps

Description of Intervention and Timeline
• I am currently teaching Environmental Engineering at San
Diego State University as the instructor of record. This is my 3rd
semester in this role. The class has a typical enrollment of 85
students per semester, with no TA’s.
• This project develops and applies a tool and method for
instructor self-assessment rather than an experimental
modification to instruction. The work underlying the current
stage of the project has already taken place, over the last three
semesters. The remaining work is continuing data collection
this semester, data transformation, and analysis. It is
anticipated that analysis of this stage will be completed before
the end of the current academic year.
Questions from the Audience
R. Klinger - UCSD/SDSU - 2014

Description of Methods
• A Bloom’s Taxonomy (BT) table is developed.
• Unit level outcomes are aligned with course level and ABET
outcomes. These outcomes are all mapped to the BT table.
• Exam scores on aligned problems are then also mapped to the
BT table.
• Overlaid outcome maps are summed to represent coverage
and emphasis on the cognitive v. knowledge plane.
• Heat map color coding is applied to aid visualization.
• Outcome (ABET, course, and unit level) and assessment heat
maps are compared to evaluate performance as alignment and
intensity.
