The development of statics’concept questions at different levels of Bloom's taxonomy, their use in statics classes at twodifferent institutions, and initial results are described.I. IntroductionEducational research suggests many benefits of incorporating active engagement methods likecooperative learning, peer instruction, and critical thinking exercises in our classes (Hake, 1998;Johnson et. al., 1998; Mazur, 1997). However, adopting these techniques is a challenge formany engineering educators. Traditional problem-solving classes like physics and engineeringmechanics pose their own unique challenges to using these active engagement strategies

Such inclusion will help to place engineering students in a morecompetitive position for their future career goals.Intr oductionThere has been a continued integration of information systems into all fields of engineering,especially industrial engineering. Several academic departments have changed their names toreflect this integration and others have started courses that integrate information systems intotheir traditional areas of teaching and research. Information systems (IS) are powerful andvaluable tools that support communication and decision making in an organization1. They useinformation technology (hardware and software) to capture
