universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (33) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems of local industries along with theirpotential solutions should be focused on, properly framed, and clearly identified inopen forums (e.g. through technical seminars, capstone courses and projects, theseswork, etc.). This would help to set the stage by: disseminating relevant information,generating technical debate, and examining potential solutions from differentperspectives. To come to grip with the needs of the industry and develop the potentialto tackle industries’ main problems and concerns, universities have to reach out,market their services, and do a better

engineeringeducation. It is a theory of learning founded on the premise that the reflection of our experienceswill construct our own understanding of future knowledge, much like the purposeful, deliberate,and systematic nature of engineering, which requires reflection on past knowledge to constructfuture creations. There are several guiding principles of constructivism30,41,47,63,74:1. Understanding comes from interactions with the environment. A learner’s knowledge comes from his/her pre-existing knowledge and experience, and new knowledge is formed when connecting previous experience to the new content and environment.2. Conflict in the mind or puzzlement is the stimulus for learning and determines the organization and
