The Survey was piloted in Spring 2022 toboth the engineering and science colleges at Cal State LA, yielding 520 total student responses inEnglish and Spanish.

Standardized test scorewas the most significant predictor in only one of the 11 institutions when modeled separately andin three others after high school grade point average. In seven of the 11 institutions, test scorewas not found to be a significant predictor of six-year engineering graduation forunderrepresented minority students.

whencompared to their presence in the population. This underrepresentation, which is even worseamong engineering faculty, is of great concern to ASEE. Chubin and Slaughter 2 discuss in theSeptember 2002 edition of Prism what they call the “stunted pipeline” that has resulted in theabsence of minority faculty members in engineering education. They state that only 20% of thebachelor recipients are women and less than 12% were minorities in 2001. They challenge theengineering schools to produce more minority engineers, which will hopefully lead to moreminority faculty.In the April 2002 edition of Prism, Representative Vernon Ehlers, (R-MI), also makes a case forincreasing the diversity in engineering. 3 He states:Diversity is essential in engineering

Designing products and services createdwith the specific needs of this demographic in mind is a complex, multi-disciplinarychallenge.

IntroductionIn construction planning, a project is broken into identifiable work packages to build alogical network among these packages. The process of building the logical networkrequires reading drawings, visualizing structures in mind, finding relationship betweenactivities, and estimating the duration required to complete each activity. Therepresentation of the logical network has long been made by a CPM network or a bar chart.However, students often find it difficult to intuit construction schedule by reading two-dimension (2D
