Reflecting on Reflection - 10 years, Engineering, and UQ

After ten years of including reflection within the engineering undergraduate curriculum at the University of Queensland, it is time to reflect on reflection. An investigation of current practices shows that reflection has been embedded into a number of courses across the program in diverse ways. Analysis of these reflections shows successful meta-learning and introduction to reflexive practices for the students, and insights into student performance and delivery method success for teaching academics. The challenge today, is to incorporate reflective practice more systematically into the undergraduate curriculum, and for academics to lead by example.
