]. Outside ofthe classroom however, this becomes an issue as engineering students have significantexperience with the mathematical and scientific side of problem solving and little to noexperience developing critical design thinking skills that can be applied to any range ofproblems. This lack of experience in design thinking can lead students to doubt their abilities andprofessional place in their industry [4, 5]. The problems presented to engineers in industry often cannot be solved using the familiarpath taught in lecture. Thus, recently graduated engineering students who have learned solelythrough lecture based courses are underprepared for a career in engineering that utilizes creativedesign thinking on a day to day basis [4].

An example of a rubric that fits our definition of rubric is the meta-rubrics being developed bythe Association of American Colleges and Universities for various forms of academic assessments.There are many different interventions related to rubrics. First, there is a difference between having a rubric andnot having a rubric. Sometimes assessors are asked to score a presentation on a scale, say from 1-10; this is nota rubric. In these cases, assessors are not told what criteria to base their resulting assessment on. A rubricexplicitly states what behavior or evidence one should be looking for. If criteria are

These hurdles not only affect their confidence but can also lead to difficulties in managing coursework, ultimately influencing their overall academic performance. The challenges faced by first-generation college students are compounded by a lack of academic preparation. An underprepared student is generally defined as one who lacks the requisite academic skills, knowledge, or resources essential for success in postsecondary education.
