The employability ofengineering students today depends on more than just using their technical abilities; in order toeven secure part-time employment and progress in their careers, they also require complementaryprofessional abilities or soft skills [2], [3], [4].

As defined by Streveler et al., an “individual’s conceptual understanding of a topic isthe collection of his or her concepts, beliefs, and mental models” [1, p. 83]. For engineeringstudents, conceptual understanding is critical in developing engineering expertise. This expertisewill be used by practitioners who must adapt their knowledge and apply it to different contextsand to ill-structured, real-world problems [2]. Being able to understand the relationship betweendifferent engineering ideas is a skill that students must develop to be successful practicingprofessionals. Research has shown that

. A binary logistic regression wasapplied to assess the significance of sustainability knowledge in relation to the students’educational level. The results exhibit statistically significant differences between sustainabilityknowledge scores and the semester enrolled in the program.Higher educational levels are associated with a higher likelihood of obtaining a better overallsustainability knowledge score. The probability of achieving higher overall sustainabilityknowledge scores is approximately 20% as industrial engineering students advance in theprogram. In addition, in the logistic regression model, confidence intervals can be calculated forthe odds, where it is seen that the influence of the educational level can range from 1% to 43%.This

Wherry developed the theory of rating (ToR), the theory was republished in1982 by Christopher J. Barlett with some minor editing to make the equations more readable andthe assumptions more understandable [1]. The ToR consists of 46 theorems which appear inequation form and tackles varied constructs (see appendix I for examples), most of the constructshave at least two hypotheses (corollaries) to show nuances between the constructs [1].The ToR studies ratings, also called evaluations of performance, suggests ways to minimize biasand error in ratings, sets the main guidelines for designing rating scales
