Students neglectedcritical elements in the communication process like the interpretation and reflection steps ofmathematical modelling. The use of mathematics to justify engineering decision-making is ofgreat importance to practicing engineers (Gainsburg 2012), and justification requirescommunicating the results of these interpretation and reflection steps.“​Once they have the answer, I wish i did this more, but getting students to comment on the result.Ok, here's the result, give me some comments.

There is a variety of techniques ensuring knowledge absorption; most of them aim atlearning the information, the contents of a particular study problem. Metacognitivetechniques, however, belong to another category of techniques that contribute to organizingand managing the cognitive activity.

To determine which outcomes are currently beingtaught in the UO laboratory, the curricula from six different universities were analyzed using theeight Chemical Process Safety learning outcomes recommended by SAChE [3]. The results ofthat study showed that process safety is minimally covered in the UO laboratory, and that otheraspects of process safety are not covered even at the wider curriculum level.To create the necessary curricular change, a recent model suggests four different strategies canbe used independently or collectively to create change in higher education.

importance of understanding the career preparation process, researchersshould endeavor to develop knowledge that reflects the lived experiences of individuals makingdecisions about their future careers.In engineering education, two gaps in the literature currently limit the extent to which careerresearch reflects individuals’ lived experiences. First, existing studies in engineering educationresearch often make assumptions of what “counts” as an engineering career. Typically, onlypositions in industry or academia in engineering sectors are counted towards retention. Second,studies often treat career decision-making as a logical, cognitive process, ignoring the pervasiveinfluences of personal identities and belonging. The proposed study has

… If we want to discover whatsomeone knows-in-action, we must put ourselves in a position to observe her in action. If we wantto teach our ‘doing’, then we need to observe ourselves in the doing, reflect on what we observe,describe it, and reflect on our description.Knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are all vital parts of a professional education such asengineering, and combine in an integrated sense to form engineering skills. These engineeringskills are not specific traditional skills, but broader engineering skills such as problem solving ordesign. Skill development in traditional professional education is seen as the progressive,stepwise accumulation of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. However “practitioners
