A Masters or a Ph.D. canprovide specialized knowledge that can be of value in the workforce, either in technicalknowledge for a field or in management knowledge. The percentages of women earning upper-level degrees in engineering are low when compared to their male counterparts, leading tounderrepresentation in professor positions [1]. This may be because women finishing theirgraduate studies report feeling that women cannot get ahead and that they are overwhelmed bythe pressure of work [2]. However, obtaining an upper-level degree in engineering can lead tosalary increases and more compelling work [1]. An MBA specifically is important for careeradvancement and

BackgroundTertiary education, and in particular engineering education, is critical to India’s aspiration ofbecoming a competitive player in the globalized world [1]. Post the economic reformsbeginning in the early nineties, the enrolment to engineering education has increased from ameager 200 thousand in 1947 to 34 million in 2017-18 [2]. Engineering institutions havemushroomed without adequate infrastructure, effective governance and good faculty,resulting in poor quality of education [3]. Thus, the exponential growth of engineeringeducation has significantly affected the quality of engineering graduates in India. The

To tackle the rapidly changing needs ofthe broad engineering field, industries are looking for graduates with an ability to think at a systemslevel while at the same time possessing the hands-on hardware and software skills necessary tointerface at the sub-system level. Extant literature supports that both engineering faculty andstudents desire hands-on, system-level projects early on in an engineering curriculum (e.g. [1] [2]).Additional literature supports that training engineers in design-based thinking skills is useful inbuilding and motivating core technical

Twenty percent of jobs require a “high level” of knowledge in STEM and many morerequire some proficiency in STEM fields [2].

The reportclaims that in the US, “there appears to be little awareness of ET as a field of study or categoryof employment” [2, p. 4]. Factors leading to the general unfamiliarity of ET by most Americansare 1) there is substantially less ET versus engineering graduates per year 2) minimal formaloutreach and/or communications, especially with K-12 education systems, 3) and the ET brand isoften mismarketed and/or misunderstood [3].

Rubrics are scoring guides that states the criteria for evaluating a task anddefine the levels of quality of work and are used for evaluating student’s assignments[1]. Rubricsmay help focus both students and instructors on the most important elements of the assignedtasks. Rubrics may also help in reducing the subjectivity of conventional assessment techniques.Professors have used scoring rubrics for a student’s written response to evaluate his/herunderstanding in subjects such as English, social studies, economics, law, natural and physicalsciences[2-5].
