It involves both knowledge about and regulation of one’s own cognition,including knowledge about one’s strengths and weaknesses as a learner, learning strategies, andwhen and where to use different strategies. Metacognitive knowledge increases incrementallyover time through practice by developing expertise within a specific domain, reflecting onexperiences, and engaging in peer-regulated and autonomous learning experiences14, 15. Peer-regulated learning, the process by which metacognitive knowledge can be developed throughlearners interacting with other learners who are slightly more advanced than themselves,provides learners the opportunity to observe the proficient use of metacognitive skills and servesas a standard against

Undergraduate engineering students complete fiveco-op rotations between their sophomore and senior years, accumulating close to 20 months ofprofessional work experience in their field of study. Although instructors often relate conceptspresented in the classroom to students’ cooperative education, there is a need for teachingmethodologies to better integrate every student’s own real-world experience into engineeringclassrooms. Our hypothesis is that reflecting on and disseminating knowledge and experiencethat students gain through professional practice, in the context of a specific course in thecurriculum, can be a valuable resource for classroom instruction.

This is relevant to our subsequent and current studies since successful intentionalchanges were entirely dependent upon the students’ learning and demonstrating increasingcontrol over their behaviors, and selecting desirable and achievable goals. Selecting such goalsand identifying desirable behaviors, according to Baltes,17 reduces the possibility of unsuccessfulresults and increases the likelihood of developing methods that lead to desired outcomes.According to Brandtstädter,12 reflective thought and
