The STEM applications courses are designed to increaselearning and develop better understanding of fundamental topics while providing preparationtime for the regional robotics competition. While students are learning through the use of arobotics platform, the fundamental STEM topics for the class are re-emphasized. Havinginteractive projects in the classroom provides a context for the fundamental content being taughtwhile also impacting those students who

They have been investigating instructional strategies, such as use of prediction items and classroom vot- ing with clicker technology, to help students become aware of their impulsivity and to elicit and address mathematical misconceptions. Dr. Lim is also exploring the use of mathematical tasks to provoke stu- dents’ intellectual need for the concepts they are expected to learn. Lately, Dr. Lim has been involved in the iMPaCT-Math project to investigate the use of programming activities to foster student learning of foundational algebraic concepts.Mrs. Sharie Kranz

This paper presents the approach developed to teach Statics to Construction Management students at Sam Houston State University where the author has taught in the past three years. It shows the similarities and differences of teaching Statics to both Construction Management students on one side and to Engineering and Engineering Technology students on the other side. But more importantly, it outlines what needs to be implemented to fit the needs of Construction Management graduates at actual construction sites. Recommendations are made based on this new approach of teaching Statics to

However, there remains the possibility of suchdesignated degree program names at some point.
