This report in five parts which can be downloaded separately below:

  • Introduction
  • Part I describes the nature of Cognitive Modifiability, as defined by Dr. Reuven Feuerstein.
  • Part II describes the nature of Quality Management, as defined by Dr. W. Edwards Deming.
  • Part III describes Bloom’s taxonomy. This material was copied from the internet, using the materials of Donald Clark.
  • Part IV describes how to combine the teachings of Deming and Feuerstein with the taxonomies of Benjamin Bloom to produce a new approach to the education of engineers. In presenting this combination I build upon the contributions of James Hills. Because the paradigm shifts in both teaching and learning are so great, I have gone into great detail to describe a design in which every student, on graduation, will display mastery of the subjects in the curriculum.
