Society for Engineering Education, 2019 The Critical Pick: A Crane Rigging DemonstrationAbstractThis demonstration, an application of static equilibrium and geometry knowledge, depicts theimportance of rigging angles during crane lift operations on a construction site. Reducingrigging angles results in a significant amplification of forces in the rigging, potentially leading tofailure. By varying the connection points and sling length, students will be able to calculate thepredicted forces and analyze the best combination of connection points and sling lengths tosuccessfully complete the critical lift. The forces in rigging (sling, chain, wire rope, webbing,shackles, etc.) increase substantially as the angle formed by the sling

access. This study isrepresenting their voices after 4 years (2019 -2023) of implementation of an active learningpedagogy described as experiment-centric pedagogy. A total of seven STEM fields participatedin their implementation of the ECP during the study period. A survey of 17-items which hasbeen validated, was adopted from Carroll et al [4] and administered to all faculties that haveparticipated in the 4 year program. A total of ten (10) faculty which represent diverse STEMfields are included in this study. Notably, out of the 7 STEM disciplines that the implementationof the ECP was done, only 6 fields department feedback were captured in this preliminaryfinding. The 17-items have 5-point Likert scales that range from strongly disagree to
