Change is a part of constructionirrespective of the project delivery methods – change happens and should be properly planned for.Knowledge of contract changes and claims brings together various areas of construction practices. Fromconstruction law to construction materials and methods, cost estimating, value engineering, planning andscheduling, risk management, and leadership. This paper makes the case for teaching contract changesand claims management to students in construction-related programs and the paper also presents a modelsyllabus for the implementation of the course.

Programming & CircuitryA large part of conventional ENGR 111 course curriculum is focused on the essentialfundamental engineering skills of programming and circuitry. Conversion of related classactivities to remote instruction was exponentially simplified due to the existence of another free,online platform known as Tinkercad (www.Tinkercad.com). The entire Tinkercad site includespowerful simulation software for a variety of purposes, such as 3D modeling and Arduinoprogramming. The circuit environment allows for design, programming, and simulation.Tinkercad has a simulation workspace and a component library that is based on existing Arduinokits. This allows for the creation of a variety of circuits that range from simple to complex. Inmost

they want to pursue an engineering degree (Blaisdell14;13, 2002; 1998).Although women now have easier access to most engineering schools, there is a lingeringreluctance for women to choose education in technology related fields. Recruiting women intoengineering is a crucial issue if we want to increase the numbers of women in technical fields.However, the story does not end with recruitment. Nationwide retention rates show that out ofthe very few women who enroll in engineering programs in college, 22.7% dropout aftercompleting only threshold courses in engineering; and 35.4% withdraw after taking engineeringcourses beyond threshold, but before getting a degree. Only 41.9% of women who enroll inengineering programs complete their bachelor’s
