Once completed, the degree will expand thegraduates’ career opportunities and add value to their organizations. [1], [2]Literature ReviewThe origin of the MSEM program differs from many other online master’s programs inengineering management, in that other online programs were often designed around existingengineering management or industrial engineering courses in corresponding degree-grantingdepartments.

Since mastering engineering terminology is critical tostudents’ success in their careers, more care should be taken to strength the first three levels ofBloom’s taxonomy [7], before approaching problems involving analysis or design. Such materialcan bridge the opportunity gaps between non-native speakers of English and the rest.

Additionally,these assessments help individuals in career development by identifying one’s strengths andweaknesses and finding good fitting career paths for their personality.

As such,the traits of adaptive expertise are characteristics that engineering educators are being required toinstill in their students. However, empirical literature examining adaptive expertisemeasurements among students and working professionals is scarce. More data is required toassess the levels of adaptiveness displayed by both students and working professionals and toexamine points in both an individual's education and professional career in which adaptiveness isdeveloped.In this study we use an existing, validated adaptive expertise survey
