In this competitive world, students are required to acquire hard power skills to sustain in the competition. It is also the responsibility of the university education system to develop students’ hard power skills. The hard power skills include both technical abilities as well as professional skills. The necessary hard power skills are highly based on cognitive processes and knowledge dimensions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the knowledge dimensions and cognitive processes as identified in the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT) for the course on Software Engineering. For this purpose, a correlation analysis of questions items collected from the various examinations conducted for the course on Software Engineering is performed. Each question item is first classified along the knowledge dimension and cognitive processes from RBT. The results of the Chi-Square test shows that both dimensions are significantly correlated.
