However, this study will be repeated in the spring semester2011 with a low-stakes version of the quizzes to determine whether larger gains can be madewith required quizzing.AcknowledgementsThis project was supported by a grant from the Center for Teaching and Learning at Boise StateUniversity.

Operated Device - Develop a battery-operated device that addresses one of thefollowing categories: quality-of-life improvement, improvement in education, commercialvalue and/or entertainment. The device should be portable, self-contained, and able to operateindependently of other supplementary equipment, should not interface with any line-powereddevice(s), and is restricted to alkaline AAA, AA, C, D, 9-volt, and/or lantern batteries. Eachproject should include a mathematical model that calculates the lifetime of the device and thepower consumption.The bridge and catapult design presented formidable challenges in several ways.

consideration of graduate construction coursework, faculty course loads andcapabilities, student and local industry needs and limitations, and departmental resources.Setbacks to commencing the graduate program occurred due to limited initial course enrollmentand the need for additional marketing of the program. Based on the local constructionindustry’s interest in the program and level of construction activity, it is expected that theprogram will eventually provide graduate education meeting the demand for a higher level ofconstruction knowledge.I.
