budgets for public education, specifically K12 [3] (Figure 1).There are approximately 800 separate institutions on the NASA Minority Serving Institution(MSI) list [4], which make up about 10% of post-secondary institutions and 26% of students [5].MSIs have been identified through a series of Executive Actions by which the U.S. Departmentof Commerce, the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of the Interiorallocate specific funding to MSI institutions. However, while federal funding is available, about59.3% of MSIs are funded [6]. It is critical to determine if students graduating from these MSIsare employed in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, especially asworkforce shortages continue [7]. Further, students

critical to improvingefficiency and sustainability in construction projects [2].The Construction Engineering degree is essential for the sustainable and efficientdevelopment of urban and transportation infrastructure projects and building projects fordiverse uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, educational, and healthcare purposes.These projects demand a robust technical and practical knowledge foundation that enables thedesign, planning, and execution of constructions that address societal needs while respectingthe environment. Within this context, the Applied Statics course is included in mostConstruction Engineering programs due to its fundamental role in developing competenciesrelated to the analysis and design of structures [3
