are four main attributeswithin this dimension: 1) The epistemological openness attribute captures the inclination of anengineer to “recognize and value the subjective experiences and perspectives of others as validand important source of knowledge” [1, p. 135]. Epistemological openness allows a researcher tocapture the thought process behind the various actions of an engineer. 2) The second attribute isthe micro to macro focus which informs the need for an engineer to consider the systems-levelimplications of their action along with the individual level implications. 3) The reflective valueawareness attribute covers the need for ethical and professional impact of an engineer’s action.The ability to reflect on their own values and improve

following section, we will first describe epistemic cognition andmetacognition separately. 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. The study ofepistemic cognition emerged with Perry’s [10] study into the cognitive and ethical developmentof male student at

We provide the example of how one existing qualitative data set was used for threedissertation studies. We show how each study had its own considerations for the use of that dataset, and how those considerations could help others identify whether a data set is useful for themwhile they are mining qualitative data.There are two main reasons that researchers should consider qualitative data mining. Seale[3]notes that secondary analyses like those that are performed through qualitative data mining arebeneficial to both the researcher and the research community in general, stating that, “It is botheconomical and ethical to analyze existing data

Inside the classroom, studentsacquire the knowledge necessary to ultimately graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in their chosenmajor. All these experiences help transform the student from a dualistic to a relativistic point ofview.
