estimation [1] .This poor performance by the new graduates appears to be related to: aweak conceptual understanding of basic engineering science, limited ability to form appropriateanalogies, weakness in visual perception, short-term memory, and insufficient interaction withtheir physical surroundings[4,5]. Additionally, current engineering education emphasizessophisticated methods for precise calculation and thus may underemphasize approximation skills[13]. Attempts to rectify the situation would require research and development and eventuallyinstigating potential changes in curricula and teaching methods.4) Physical modeling and experimentation: Unfortunately, the advent of the computer and itsimpact on teaching engineering has made it easy to

Some companies had not experienced problems with recruiting (to theknowledge of the person interviewed), and some companies had not recruited new personnel. Aninteresting finding was that over 80 % of the companies believed that it would become moredifficult to find personnel with energy competence on a 10 year horizon. It should be noted thatthe persons interviewed worked as traditional industrial engineers at different levels and withdifferent focus (e.g. marketing or logistics), and therefore had not first-hand insight into therecruitment of new personnel.Industries mainly working in emerging markets and/or with relatively new technologies pointedout the importance of a curriculum that not only

This stunned me for a few minutes when I read it, but then I remembermy parents buying a car in 1953 which had power windows! Many young people don’t realize howthings have changed over the past half-century. It is also true that many of our current facultymembers have not experienced the past half-century of engineering education. They have littleappreciation of the foundations of engineering education on which they must build the future.

. Nonetheless, many engineeringstudents take physical courses. Up to one third of the students are from engineering majors inintroductory physical education courses. This seems to be a strong indication that physicalcourses are perceived well by engineering students. Qualitative statements like this need to besupported by quantitative assessments. Such assessments can then be used to decide theappropriate policies by various engineering departments on the inclusion or exclusion of physicaleducation in their curricula. This paper at hand is on this specific topic.The PE 603100 course of: Sports and Health is offered at the Hashemite University by theDepartment of Physical Education and Sports Science.

Teaching methods, materials, and activities also vary. Someinstructors lecture, others demonstrate or discuss, some focus on principles, and others onapplications. There are studies arguing that the most effective teaching can be achieved when thematerials and activities overlap with the students' learning styles [1], [2]. There are several methodsand indexes categorizing learning styles [3].

attitudes and approaches to learningAbstractIt is well established that students have a diverse array of learning styles and take differentapproaches to learning. For example, approaches to learning have been classified as “surface”,“deep”, and “achievement”. Research has shown that there are several advantages to promotingand fostering a deep approach to learning. One method for encouraging a deep approach tolearning is to utilize formative assessments that focus on conceptual understanding rather thanrecall or rote calculations. To that end, a Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering(WISE) Learning Tool that promotes concept-based learning has been incorporated into a multi-disciplinary Material Balances and Stoichiometry course.

Preparation is critical for both the learner and instructor prior to class, but the burden ofthe discussion and discovery is primarily placed on the learner. The learner must come preparedto ask questions, support different points of view, and engage with his or her peers to derivemeaning from the case study content. The instructor must have a thorough understanding of thecase study materials.
