As a result, moremathematics and science was pumped into the engineering curriculum. Something had to give andthat was experiential learning laboratories with most of the engineering classes. As a personal aside,when one of the authors majored in electrical engineering at Purdue University, only five or six ofhis engineering classes had laboratories with them.

the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the

ERPs are derived fromElectroencephalography (EEG) recordings that measure variations in electrical activity producedby large populations of brain cells by electrodes placed in key positions on the scalp. ERPs arederived from the large amplitude EEG through a filtering and averaging process, and reflectregularities in electrical brain activity that are time-locked to an external event (for example, asound or a word). ERPs provide a millisecond-by millisecond record of the brain’s electricalactivity during mental processing as it unfolds

The present population isroughly one billion, and is expected to rise to between 1.5 to 1.8 billion by 2050. Due to the highvariability of rainfall patterns, some parts of the country receive large amounts of rain, whileothers have desert-like conditions. Therefore, the interlinking of rivers is of great importance forfuture development. The estimated cost of this largest project in the world is $112 billion.Interlinking of the rivers will augment irrigation, provide a solution to the growing need forindustrial and domestic water, generate electricity, and improve inland navigation.
