process was adjusted to put a stronger emphasis on motivation issues and technicalbackground of candidates. The biggest limitation of the analysis conducted is the small number of observations. Currently, in splitting afew hundred students according to certain aspects, we get buckets of only a few dozen people. At this rate, a fewoutliers in a bucket might create a visible anomaly. We hope to get a statistically significant amount of data bymonitoring students performance and admission metrics over the course of 2-3 years.References[1] T.

. The stresses resulting from the angled cut are defined as average normal stress, σ’, and direct average shear stress, τ’, in the X’-Y’ coordinate system. Figure 6 depicts the average normal stress and direct average shear stress. Figure 6: Average Normal and Direct Average Shear Stresses NOTE: By definition, both stresses have uniform stress distributions across the cut surface. As the cut angle, , is varied from 0⁰ to 90 ⁰ in 5⁰ increments, the normal stress, σ’, and the shear stress, τ’, can be calculated. The solution for the cut at each angle represents a point on the circle developed by Christian Otto Mohr in the late 1800’s
