|b Bloom's taxonomy is a classification system of educational objectives, it contains six levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, and it is a useful tool in developing teaching objectives and learning outcomes, it can be applied in assessment and examination's questions of engineering education as well, the levels have many keyword verbs, they assist teachers to get ideas to design and form their questions, also, they assist students to answer them perfectly, because each level gives specific ability to teachers and students. There are interrelations between quality level, examination's questions, and Bloom's taxonomy levels, also, there are deeper relation between question's quality and learning outcomes, it was proved that 85-100% of level intermediate cognitive questions can result 67-100% of learning outcomes in most engineering education fields, because the questions need to be simplified, meaningful, and accurate. The aims of the research are to improve quality of examination's questions; the Bloom's Taxonomy can achieve this through application of keyword verbs of six levels of it but by the method of application of three procedures of collecting, selecting, and sorting of keyword verbs. Many previous studies presented keyword verbs between 32- 265, but this research selected 254 keyword verbs from all six levels, it was affirmed that both levels of application and synthesis take higher numbers of keywords of 62 and 45, both analysis and evaluation take medium numbers of 40 for both, and the levels of knowledge and comprehension take lower numbers of 36 and 31 respectively. As a new topic, the levels of Bloom's taxonomy were used to improve quality of examination's questions and their answers. As a new tactic, the collection, selection, and sorting of keyword verbs of levels of Bloom's Taxonomy is regarded as new developed roadmap.
