Several rubrics have been developed and used to assessstudents’ ability to solve word problems. Permatasari and colleagues [6] implemented a fourindicator problem solving rubric based on: Identification of the Problem, Planning a Solution,Implementing a Solution, and Evaluation. The rubric, which implemented a 1-4 scoring scale,was tested in a Physics class with 55 senior high school students [5]. Another rubricimplemented in Physics uses 44 sub-skills split in different categories: knowledge, beliefs,expectations and motivations, and processes [6]. That rubric was used to

Therefore, community collegesrepresent a potential source of talent for future engineers from diverse backgrounds.

individual’s behaviors and attributes. Thebehaviors are engaged in a cyclical manner through the following four phases:1. Observation of a problem, which may be posed by another individual or formed by the problem solver in response to other results, a puzzling real world situation or pattern, etc. This phase involves orienting oneself to the nature, elements, and structure of the problem.2. Conjecturing solution paths involves imagining several possible plans of attack without actually carrying them out, quickly evaluating the potential effectiveness and requirements of each, then making a decision on how to proceed. This is often informed by previous problem solving efforts.3. Execution of a plan involves proceeding with the chosen
