for engineering educators by providing atransferable, easy-to-implement reflection activity that can be implemented in any engineeringcourse that includes a presentation assignment.Reflection to Enhance Learning and AssessmentReflection as a teaching approach is becoming increasingly recognized in engineering education[1, 2], where it is often used to promote cognitive development and can help students learn morefrom projects, internships, and other educational experiences [3-7]. For example, a common in-class reflective activity is the “exam wrapper”: shortly after an exam, students articulate whatthey did that helped them do well on the exam and what they could do differently to improvetheir performance on a future exam.Recently, reflection

As aresult of our findings, it is evident that there has been a significant and recognizable upwardtrend in the explicit attention to reflection across the body of the ASEE conference publications.Understanding the trends of reflection across literature can help us further analyze its prevalenceand importance in the engineering education community.IntroductionIn engineering education, there has been an increase in pedagogical approaches that positionstudents at the center of the teaching practice, like problem-based learning, project-basedcourses, and capstone design courses.1,2,3 Such pedagogical approaches often engender reflectionby engaging students in reflection activities

Reflecting on our own prior efforts todevelop writing assignments for such courses, we became curious about the extent to which themost popular engineering textbooks include writing prompts and related writing activities. Thisquestion seemed particularly important given that textbooks often play critical roles inengineering curricula and courses.
