When writing the stories, wehighlighted what motivates sustainable engineers to carry out their work (Gottschall, 2012; Raoet al., 2020). PSTs also formed more detailed understandings of sustainability (Gannon et al.,2022), gained related self-efficacy (Menon et al., 2024), and planned to use stories in their ownfuture classrooms. The stories supported PSTs’ disciplinary literacy (Silvestri et al., 2021).Our work thus far indicates promising areas for further exploration and scaling up. As wecontinue to implement the

One crucial component of problem-solving is metacognition, the process of reflecting onone’s own learning processes including planning, monitoring, and evaluating that learning [6],[7], [8].

Albert Bandura's framework underscoresthat self-efficacy beliefs evolve through the interpretation of information from four key sources,shaping one's perception of their capabilities [12]. These beliefs significantly impact motivationand behavior.Seeing value pertains to the perceived significance an individual gives to a specific goal, result,or action.

However, facultymentors and the administration suggested that we restrict ourselves to mini conferences so thatstudents have enough lab time to complete their projects. We complied with this suggestionbecause students do experience some pressure to finish their projects within the 11-week period. In lieu of additional activities, we plan to incorporate various STEM teaching techniques(Felder, 2016) to improve the mini-conference session. Notably, most mini-conference sessionsin the past had a lecture-based approach. With this redesign, we hope to incorporate more activelearning techniques to engage students.

The group’s reflections did not seem tobe influenced by whether the students had already conducted their experiment, were still in theplanning phase, or were planning to adjust a previously conducted experiment. There was not anobvious difference in the scores based on this factor, retrospective (10, 13) versus prospective (5to 21, median 10). The memos with the shortest word counts received the lowest score, perhapsbecause it is harder to find evidence of depth of thinking and/or the level of care the teams tookwith the reflection.Table 1.

This myriad of risks cancreate obstacles for researchers who want to go ahead with their research project. This is wherethe regulatory body of the IRB comes to the assistance of researchers to help with the what if'sand support researchers in their plans to mitigate harm to human participants.

Suchinterventions have the potential to help students utilize metacognitive techniques that maycontribute to their professional and personal development.

For instance, [18] developed a timemanagement training program and concluded that the students who actively utilize timemanagement tools like planning, setting goals, and priorities achieve higher academicperformance and demonstrate lower stress
