Since engineering in North Carolina schools has appearedonly in a career-linked capacity, thinking of engineering, not as a discipline but as an integratorand bringer of relevance to any class, represents a true paradigm shift.This paper describes a recent effort to write educational standards for the state of North Carolinathat define engineering in the K-12 space. The intent is for engineering to be integratedthroughout K-12 education, not as stand-alone classes, but as a part of any class. The effort todevelop a description of what all students should know and be able to do with respect toengineering began with the various standards in use in other states and incorporated informationfrom NAE

Reciprocality does notequal symmetrical or bidirectional influences. Rather, it stresses: (1) one can use personalprocesses to ‘strategically regulate behavior and the immediate learning environment’,where the feedback can in turn influence the person’s covert process[14]; (2) theinfluences of externally social experiences and environments are important to internallypersonal processes[15]; and (3) ‘Behavior is, therefore, a

]. Theability to self-direct learning was found to be a predictor for adult learners’ MOOC completion rate[9]. Aspects of self-regulated learning also affected students’ online learning attitudes [13]. Thosestudents who better self-regulate their studies by managing their time properly, being conscious oftheir learning and social behavior, being critical in examining course content, and persevering inunderstanding the learning material are most likely to better perform online [19]. On the other hand,research reveals that an online environment presents multiple barriers to self-directed learning. Theinstruction and peer interactions available in a traditional classroom setting are limited, thus leadingto non-engagement of learners [20]. A qualitative
