It is well established in the literature that metacognitive awareness ispositively correlated to favorable course outcomes [6]-[9]. Further, introducing students tometacognition and related concepts has also been shown to lead to improved learning outcomes[10]-[15]. Importantly, benefits have been observed with minimal interventions consisting ofsimply introducing concepts of metacognition to students [16].With the above in mind, a series of online resources was developed and deployed within a corefirst-year engineering course at the University of British Columbia, a large Canadian research-intensive university.

Escalation of college costs1-4 is the majormotivation driving this trend,5 but community colleges offer more than just a less expensive trekthrough the first two years. They often provide a smaller, more intimate campus, and a greaterflexibility in class scheduling, with more evening classes. They also offer an opportunity to pickup remedial math and science for those who decide to pursue engineering too late to prepare forthat path in high school.6 With a transfer in mind, taking fundamental freshman
