The recruitment of students into engineering programs at Malaysian higher education institutes is based solely on the students' examination results. Hence, it is not known whether students who apply for engineering programs have the correct pre-conception of what constitute engineering.

Research shows that metacognition has played an important role in Physics problem-solving process. Previous research (Phang, 2009) has established patterns of Physics problem-solving and metacognition among secondary school students in the UK through Grounded Theory research methodology. Continuing from this work, patterns of Physics problem-solving and metacognition among Malaysian students are investigated and compared with the UK’s patterns. The problem-solving processes are “observed” using thinking-aloud technique followed by retrospective interviews. These are recorded using a digital video camera and transcribed for in-depth analysis. Although the basic problem-solving processes are similar among the two countries’ students, the main differences are in mathematical skills, reasoning skills and metacognitive skills.
