Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive functions and academic engagement and vitality among students of Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol. Method: The method of this study was a descriptive-survey correlational study. The statistical population of this study included all undergraduate and graduate students of Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol in the academic year 1402-1403. The sample size was determined as 366 people based on the Morgan table and stratified random sampling method. To collect the data required for the study, standard questionnaires were used, including Nejati's Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire (2013), Rio's Academic Engagement Questionnaire (2013), and Chari and Dehghani Zadeh's Academic Vitality Questionnaire (2012). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. At the level of inferential statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the assumptions, and the regression analysis method was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings:The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between cognitive functions and academic engagement and vitality of students at Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol. Conclusion:Cognitive functions such as decision-making, planning, self-monitoring, and problem-solving are important tools in the learning process and enable students to participate more actively in learning and maintain their mental energy in the course of academic activities. In addition to facilitating the processing and storage of information in long-term memory, such functions enable students to benefit from cognitive and metacognitive strategies, set clear academic goals, gain a deeper understanding of course content, and ultimately experience greater motivation and vitality in academic activities.
