Thisresearch was done over a period of three semesters. These research-based educational materialsand methods were implemented in statics classes, with an enrollment of about 100 students persection. The students were given pre and post Math-Statics Baseline (MSB) tests to determinethe gain in understanding statics materials.

Being an extremelybroad and important field of science, geophysics entails the study and exploration of the earthand its atmosphere and waters by means of physical measurements, and requires its practitionersto utilize a combination of mathematics, physics, geology, and computer science to analyze thesemeasurements to infer properties and processes of the complex earth system. By its nature ofinterdisciplinarity, geophysics makes research and development projects ideal for education andresearch training of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students.Education and training have become lifelong pursuits for our workforce, as new jobs requiringnew skills
