Critical thinking is essential for academic success in higher education. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive capacity of metacognitive strategies on critical thinking in engineering students from a Peruvian university. A quantitative approach with an associative strategy and a cross-sectional predictive design was used. The sample consisted of 213 students from six professional engineering schools. The Metacognitive Strategies Inventory and the Critical Thinking Questionnaire were applied, both demonstrating adequate validity and reliability levels. The results showed that metacognitive strategies significantly predict critical thinking. The regression model explained 28.4% of its variability, confirming its predictive capacity. It is concluded that strengthening metacognitive strategies enhances the development of critical thinking and promotes more autonomous, analytical, and reflective learning in university engineering education.
