| contents | In today s world engineers need to be equipped with a range of different skills and experiences to succeed. There needs to be a combination of strong levels of meta- cognition and self-awareness. Nineteen final year mechanical engineering students who completed an industry placement and 20 students who did not took a metacognitive Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS) survey to test their levels of self-reflection and self-awareness. The two groups results found higher metacognitive skills in the work placement group in all three areas tested: self- reflection, need for self-reflection (self-awareness) and insight. The study suggests that these metacognitive levels could be increased from taking a work placement year Recommendations are offered on how universities can improve the course curriculum to benefit work placement students and non-work placement students. |
