. Studies have discussed various aspects of the differences between, particularly, studentsand professionals in the solving of ill-structured problems. Differences have been found in the useand type of analogies and whether they were schema-driven or case-driven (e.g., [8], [18], 19]),time spent in the problem scoping and problem solution space (e.g., [8], [9], [20], [21]), and thebreadth of problem solving (e.g., [9]). These studies were all focused on students and professionals,but have not included faculty. Consequently, there is a lack of data on how faculty prefer to solveill-structured problems, the correlation between their preferences and their pedagogicalapproaches, and the impact on faculty approaches on a student’s development of problem

Scholars such as Sadler [5] and Torrance [6] suggest that providing explicitassessment criteria may inadvertently foster "criteria compliance" and instrumental learningamong students [6]. These concerns also extend to potential negative effects on teachers,teaching methods, or students. Such critiques have far-reaching implications for the use ofrubrics, given that they represent one of the most prevalent ways of communicating explicitassessment criteria to students.These critical perspectives coexist with accumulated empirical support for mainly positiveeffects of rubrics. The tension between the established benefits and emerging critiques forms thebackdrop of our exploration into the role of rubrics in senior-level engineering
