Abstract
This paper presents an investigation into the quality of self-reflection during industrial intern-ships by Chemical Engineering students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands. The quality of the self-reflection reports written at the end of a compulsory in-dustrial internship is directly related to the amount of guidelines provided to the students. Fur-thermore the self-reflection improves if the students are stimulated to seriously consider their own performance and learning goals at various stages during the internship. Based on these findings a new procedure with extended guidelines employing SMART goals is introduced for the writing of self-reflection reports.
