To reiterate, the usefulness of taxonomies is of interest when the academy moves in the direction of including competency mastery in engineering education programming. The term taxonomy is derived from the Greek word taxis, meaning arrangement of division and no-mos meaning law. Bruno and Richmond (2003) stated, 

They provided further definition and stated that taxonomies are. 

Molenda (2002) described developmental theories of the past, which were typically based on an either-or state of affairs. In other 

The implications for taxonomy and rubric development and use in terms of enhancing perspectives of engineering faculty for competency development are significant. A student-centered focus is required to develop useful taxonomies based on what students learn to know, value and do in competency-based learning. The potential impact of authentic and personalized assessment of competency development, and the opportunities for researching and assessing results of competency development initiatives as a part of mechanical engineering DNA are all noteworthy benefits.
