The Cognitive And Affective Domain In Assessing The Life Long Learning Objective

The success of the engineering profession requires students to be educated in the technical practices and inspired to develop the traits of life-long learning. The authors’ objective is to demonstrate the use of the cognitive and affective domains in assessing life-long learning in a program’s mission to inspire students and to achieve the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Body of Knowledge 2 (BOK2) Outcome. Recent published works will be integrated in the proposed process, which rely upon the well established Bloom’s Taxonomy for the cognitive and affective domains. The authors believe that multiple domains used in the process will be repeated across similar assessments and beneficial in moving forward the ASCE BOK2.
