Abstract

This study explores integrating engineering concepts into the physical education (PE) curriculum, aiming to develop student experiences and progressive development. The objectives include exploring benefits associated with incorporating engineering principles, including preventing injuries through movement analysis and biomechanics, stimulating creativity and problem-solving skills with sports equipment, and strengthening theoretical knowledge through practical experiences in designing fitness equipment. The methods involved a comprehensive approach by literature reviews. The observed benefits include enhanced problem-solving abilities, improved creativity, and the practical application of theoretical knowledge, all contributing to a good educational experience. This interdisciplinary approach not only prepares students for a technologically advanced society but also ongoing research, collaboration, and implementation to maximize its educational potential in both physical education and engineering.

Abstract

Physical education courses, traditionally a blend of theory and practice for their own department students, are often delivered as purely theoretical classes for students from non-physical education disciplines enrolled in Generic Elective Courses (GEC). This approach can lead to disengagement and boredom, as students are already exposed to multiple theoretical classes throughout the day. To address this issue, the Department of Physical Education at the Central University of Haryana revised its GEC curriculum to include practical sessions alongside theoretical content. This study explores the impact of this curriculum revision on student engagement and physical fitness. Feedback from 200 postgraduate students, aged 20-25, indicated a strong preference for incorporating practical sessions into the curriculum, with 98% of respondents favoring this change. The revised curriculum allocated two hours per week for physical activities, aimed at enhancing student engagement and promoting the importance of physical fitness. The effectiveness of the new curriculum was assessed through a one-minute push-up test, measuring upper body strength at the beginning and end of the semester. Initial results showed that 50% of the students struggled to complete the test. However, by the end of the semester, 96% of students successfully completed the one-minute push-up test, indicating significant improvement in physical fitness. The study concludes that integrating practical sessions into GEC physical education courses not only improves student engagement but also enhances physical fitness. It highlights the need for a balanced approach, combining theory with hands-on activities, to foster holistic development. The findings suggest that other departments offering practical-oriented courses could benefit from incorporating similar practical components into their curricula.
