Graduates reported that theirundergraduate training, and consequential familiarity with project-based work and comforttackling uncertainty or unfamiliar tasks, enabled self-directed learning for workplaceresponsibilities. For 6/15 alumni, metacognition played a role beyond engineering problem-solving as it was applied in the service of social and cultural considerations of engineering work.The study provides promising evidence that metacognitive skill development, taught throughstudent-defined open-ended projects and reflective activities, can have benefits for lifelonglearning orientations. Building on this research to investigate different program structures, and toconsider local idiosyncrasies, will elicit a more comprehensive
