Self-regulated learning isdependent on context, and it is also expected that context changes as learners redefine it uponapproaching problems.1 Self-regulated learning is composed of “metacognition, motivation, andstrategic action.” 1MLH hackathons promote small teams to coordinate with each other in order to develop and/orinnovate a project by the end of the hackathon. In focusing on teams and how they learn witheach other, a process theory helps to solidify a framework developed from Winne’s approach.Applying “how knowledge emerges from the individual to the team-level” is important for thespread of information, and in seeing how one’s actions of self-regulated learning can

Engineering Undergraduates Concurrently Seeking K-12 STEM Teacher Licensure: Fuels the Soul or Too Many Barriers?IntroductionThe benefits of infusing K-12 education with engineering—specifically engineering design anddesign habits of mind—is well established; engineering design is a powerful vehicle for scienceand math education [1]. Engineering education research suggests that students who are exposedto engineering topics during their elementary and secondary years are more motivated to enrolland succeed in advanced science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses inmiddle and high school, as well as eventually pursue engineering and other STEM careers [1, 2].Moreover, students who enter undergraduate engineering programs

Asides from that, the analyses also indicate that the students most benefit from a great amount of gained knowledge and their improved ability to adapt technologies depending on the situational context and the underlying social and cultural structures. Yet, the results show that there are also aspects of the challenge-concept that need some improvement. One of these aspects is to enhance the students’ awareness of the social responsibilities of engineers.1.
