that these tests are oriented toward the Whitemiddle-class culture [6].” A study conducted in 2010 by Unzueta et al. indicated that the surveyrespondents believed that on the math and verbal sections of the GRE the “participants expectedAsian Americans to score the highest, followed by Whites, then Blacks and Latinos [7].”Moneta-Koehler et al. found in 2017 that “students with a low socioeconomic status (SES)perform worse on standardized tests, and exams like the SAT [and the GRE] are highlycorrelated with parental income [8].” This could be part of the reason as to why groups such asAfrican Americans and Hispanics perform worse on the GRE when compared with the Asian andWhite students. Because the GRE exam costs $205 to take, it may inhibit
project site condition, geology map (Weber and Bredkhin [29], 2009).For the studied project site, the first condition is met by the geology (buried valley andconstriction) as seen in Figure 2. The second criterion was met due to the presence of confiningclay layers (vertical) and the clay kettle bottom and sides (vertical and horizontal) that severelyrestricted drainage of the sands in the site of investigation. The final criterion [29] was satisfiedonce the fill was placed and traffic load applied (Weber and Bredikhin 2010).

requirements. To date, two state licensing boards have debated M/30: Vermontin 2015 [4] and New Jersey in fall 2016 [5]. No states have yet changed theirrequirements.The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has been the largest opponent toraise the bar. They host their own web site “licensing that works” to compile resourcesthat oppose education beyond a Bachelor’s degree as a pre-requisite for professionallicensure [6]. In a 2010 ASME survey, 63% indicated that changes in the educationalrequirements for PE licensure were not justified [7]. The membership of the AmericanSociety of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) also largely opposed M/30(89.8% oppose, 8.8% for, 1.4% neutral; [8]).

However, the engineering education system is still challenged to be moreinclusive of women and underrepresented minorities to reflect the demographics of society [3].According to the Census Bureau, women were slightly more than half of U.S. residents, andminorities constituted 36% of the U.S. population in 2010 [4]. The projections also suggest thatminorities will be about half of the resident U.S. population by 2050 [4]. However, womenrepresented 21.4% of enrolled engineering undergraduates, 24.1% of enrolled Master’sengineering students, and 26.2% doctorate students in the United States in 2015 [5].

first opportunity andstick with it for the remainder of the semester: no students in the experimental group swappedbetween the alternate and traditional labs between weeks. The students that chose to pursue thealternate lab project tended to be more creative or motivated than those that chose the traditionalproject. We believe this is due to the fact that the alternate lab took student agency further byencouraging students to create original ideas, songs, and images for their simple video games,with no two final projects ending with the same game or theme.Many student groups settled on the long-standing traditional project as a default, rather than ac-tively choosing the alternative. Students that chose the traditional lab cited a professional

A 2010 survey of the Engineering Advisory board atthe University of Southern Indiana, had similar findings. Board members were asked to score boththe frequency and importance of various types of technical communications. The survey resultsare summarized in Table 1. The results affirm the importance and need for improvement in thecommunication skills of early career engineers. They expressed a desire for employees to
, an integrated silicon chip that includes the basic modulation circuitry and a non-volatilememory. The RF carrier signal is transmitted by the reader (forward link) at the hoppingfrequency band of 902-922 MHz. When the RF field reaches the tag it couples with the tag’santenna coil and consequently an AC voltage is generated across the coil. This voltage isrectified to supply power to the tag. As the tag is activated it starts to transmit back the codedinformation stored in its memory (reverse link) to the reader, using backscattered modulationtechnique, where it is decoded and retrieved [8][9].
