As a result, students who are able to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills andqualities of leaders are at an advantage over those who have just learned basic skills [5].Educators are increasingly expected to ready students for college and career; these skillstranscend content knowledge but also provides students with employability skills that will enablethem to quickly adjust to their new roles and be prepared to adapt and further their careers [6].Gaining

Automated text and datamining are not allowed in Nexis Uni® and other library databases, thereby restricting someprojects proposed by students. We need increased opportunities to teach ethical and legal issuesin working with data and to teach students that not all data are free and unrestricted.Data analytics is different from other academic programs because the learning outcomes areabout developing techniques and selecting analyses; instead of instilling knowledge about asubject, the goal is to develop a skill-set

Next, we will discuss the construct of epistemic metacognition thatlooks at epistemic cognition and metacognition in combination. This discussion is followed by asection that discusses the value of studying epistemic metacognition in the context ofengineering.Epistemic cognitionEpistemic cognition concerns how people acquire, understand, justify, change, and useknowledge. It is distinct from cognition because the focus of epistemic cognition is on theconstruction and justification of knowledge, understanding, and/or true beliefs.

Thisprogram focuses on developing professional competencies such as people and projectmanagement,leadership, and ethics, as well as perseverance, stress management, and the ability toreflect and modify one’s process of learning. Treveylan’s [9] studies on “the work that engineersdo” call for more emphasis on professional skills such as communication and the ability toperform effectively on teams.

This particular setting provides students with an understanding of the workenvironment and also brings benefits to industry and universities [5].

Since the researcher was also the instructor as datawas collected although for different purposes, this poses a threat to validity theoretically,procedurally, communication-wise, pragmatically, and ethically[74-76]. From preliminary application, this engineering epistemic frame shows potential forrevealing skills in interactions and conversations that are expressed differently or less frequentlycaptured on traditional paper methods. Specifically, it has the potential to capture values orepistemology that are not currently assessed in K-12 students. Another advantage of thisengineering frame is that it
