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

Thistool could be used in engineering education research to capture brain activities; the obtained newdata source could then be integrated with other student data to predict learning outcomes amongengineering students.

retention rates have beenlinked to one’s disposition towards a method of learning [8, 9]. In other words, if astudent is more inclined to learn using a particular method, then they are more likely tobenefit from using that method. This was studied using the survey by querying studentsabout a hypothetical assignment from MATE 232 (Materials, Ethics, and Society). Thenthey were asked questions about which assignment submission method they were moreinclined to choose and which assignment submission method they thought would resultin greater retention of information.
