Inexplaining the importance of metacognition to critical reading, Baker and Brown state that“effective learning requires an active monitoring of one’s own cognitive activities” [6]. Acrossthe various descriptions of metacognition, the recurring theme is of learners being consciouslyaware of, and taking responsibility for, their learning. Vos and de Graff argue that active learningin engineering (ALE) experiences like project work and problem-based learning, e.g., theactivities we undertake in engineering capstone design courses, require clear developmentalobjectives [7

An appropriate avenue for fosteringindustrial-university partnerships is through engineering capstone courses, where students areexpected to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts. By engaging with theindustries, students experience first-hand how products are developed, work with designconstraints, and learn communication and project management skill sets crucial for transitioninginto the workplace after graduation (Goldberg et al., 2014; Holt et al., 2004; Taraban et al.,2017).To adequately prepare engineering students to apply their skills

Forundergraduate engineering education, capstone projects are exceptionally important. Howe andGoldberg [3] analyze current practices, trends, and strategies. Furthermore, since this workaddresses a multiyear design project, the pedagogical value of project-based learning (PBL) as apart of experiential learning, is also well documented [4]-[6]. In addition, since students work inteams, some of the peer learning (PL) practices are implemented. PL is extensively addressed ineducation and psychology literature [7]-[11].Teams undertaking multiyear projects can be either replacing some members each

This interconnected environment nurtures mutual respect, innate curiosity, and aspirit of creativity [2]. The VIP model presents a holistic learning journey that holds immensepotential for students' academic and professional trajectories [2].
