Knowledge and Comprehension

Knowledge          The ability to identify, remember, and grasp the meaning of basic facts,
                   concepts and principles.

Comprehension      The ability to:

                   - select appropriate ideas, match, compare and cite examples of facts,
                            concepts and principles in familiar situations;

                   - explain familiar phenomena in terms of theories, laws and
                            principles.

Application of Knowledge

Application        The ability to:

                   - use facts, concepts, principles and procedures in unfamiliar
                            situations;

                   - transform data accurately and appropriately;
                   - use common characteristics as a basis for classification; and,
                   - use formulae accurately for computations.

Analysis and       The ability to:
Interpretation
                   - identify and recognise the component parts of a whole and interpret
                            the relationships between those parts;

                   - identify causal factors and show how they interact with each other;
                   - infer, predict and draw conclusions; and,
                   - make necessary and accurate calculations and recognise the

                            limitations and assumptions of data.

Synthesis          The ability to:

                   - combine component parts to form a new meaningful whole; and,
                   - make predictions and solve problems.

Evaluation         The ability to make reasoned judgements and recommendations based on
                   the value of ideas and information and their implications.

Practical Ability  The ability to use Green Engineering concepts, principles and procedures in
Practical Ability  familiar and novel situations to design and construct or improve viable
                   solutions.
