metacognitive reflections about their participation in these informal learningenvironments.Background and MotivationThe conceptualization of “thinking about thinking” has evolved since Flavell [8] first discussedmetacognition. Researchers have agreed that metacognition consists of knowledge of cognitionand regulation of cognition [8, 19, 20, 25]. Knowledge about cognition describes individuals’self-knowledge, knowledge about strategies, as well as appropriate application of differentstrategies in practice. Knowledge about cognition consists of three types of knowledge includingdeclarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and conditional knowledge [10]. Regulation ofcognition indicates that individuals are capable of planning, managing information

Our facultyteam has introduced systematic reflection in a two-semester multidisciplinary engineering designcourse at the United States Military Academy at West Point. A course goal is to produceengineers competent in designing with current technologies who are able to anticipate and torespond to change. Because a key component of the course has always been the assessment of thedesign against the requirements, we chose to augment the design process with multipleopportunities for reflection.This year’s course consists of 18 capstone

IntroductionAs I teach and advise engineering students, I am constantly amazed at their motivation, theircapacity for hard work, their intelligence. But I am also often amazed at their lack of self-awareness, at their “can’t see the forest for the trees” approach to getting through each hour, eachday, each semester, a college education. They refer, often jokingly, to “getting out,” instead ofgraduating, and they

Instead, they weretangled non-linear webs of activities – exactly what is needed to solve messy tangled problems.And their drawings contained a high number of non-traditional design topics - economic, ethical,historical, social and political impact - that were integrated into the traditional design process. Inessence, they had learned to view engineering design in a wider context.Without grades or credits, our role becomes that of a cognitive coach - a motivator, guide andemotional support. All feedback becomes formative. Self-reflection naturally becomes a
