This session examines the critical role of reflection in Michigan Tech's Essential Education program, launching in 2025.

Focusing on EAs like "Reflect," "Welcome Challenge," and "Communicate Quantitatively," it explores how faculty can foster these skills. Attendees will gain insights into EAs, learn practical strategies for embedding reflection in courses, and participate in discussions to enhance student readiness. The proposal advocates for a culture of reflection to empower adaptable and ethically responsible graduates.
