3. introduction • Computer simulations programs are based on model to mimic a system as close as reality and often used to bridge the gap between theory and experiment. Using these programs learner can design experiments by changing the values of input variables as precisely as possible to observe the subsequent changes in the output values to establish a relation between them [1]. This kind of learning process is often referred as inductive learning [2] which strongly resemblances to scientific researching, discovery and learning. Lately, inductive learning using computer simulations generated renewed interests [3]

4. Statement of Problem • Ministry of Higher Education of Iraq, (2012), and Ministry of Planning Republic of Iraq, ( 2010) reported that: • Most students and even graduates do not possess the ability to analytically address problems when they are confronted by such problems. • The lack of an enough chance for students to develop their practical skills and work by themselves. • Iraq needs modern educational techniques for the development of education generally and engineering education in particular

5. Objectives • determine the characteristics of simulation design fulfilling the requirement of Engineering Learning. • design, develop and evaluate the Tensile Machine Simulation (TMS). • determine the influences of TMS on metacognitive skills.

6. significanceof the Research • The significance of this study cannot be over-emphasized. Below are the significance of this research work: • (a) The engineering education experts, teachers and specialists can use the developed model to design educational curricula and methods for solving engineering problems metacognitively. • (b) The proposed mode can also help teachers in planning, monitoring and evaluating the metacognitive status of their students. • (c) The country can save the cost of employing expatriate by grooming their home-based metacognitive personnel. • (d) It will also help a country promote sustainable development since maintenance culture spans through metacognitive thinking and problem solving approach
