The campaign attracted many whosought to be educated about our efforts -- elected officials, representatives from newspapers,radio and television, and even industry. As an ironic result, the number of supporters of theprogram among the ranks of industry representatives, reporters and politicians is at an all timehigh.Despite the political upheaval and the challenges that face us, the author believes that the MESAeffort, including the MESA Engineering Program or MEP, can and will flourish.

This dataincluded hourly readings of the turbine operating conditions over two thousand hours ofoperation. From this database, approximately eight hundred data points were used to train thenetwork.Students need to make several decisions in creating the model. The first of these is whatparameters to use as input parameters and which to model as output parameters. For each ofthese data points, the turbine inlet temperature, air temperature, air pressure, steam injection rate,time since cleaning, power output, and heat rate were entered into the database created in Excel.Two separate

Many of the upperclassmen in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville stated that if they had known they would use a specific topic from thePhysics, Calculus, or Linear Algebra classes they would have paid more attention to the materialwhen taking the class since they would have some idea how they would use that knowledge intheir junior/senior years.

Most likely I never dreamed beyond that because I didn’t have any women role models in engineering and wasn’t aware of any women in top-level positions in engineering. I do think maybe that kept me from developing a career plan and dreaming further.Furthermore, another participant who did not have a career plan explained, When I started my career there were so many opportunities and I didn’t want to limit myself by having an end state in mind.
