Question 2
In 1980,
Average starting salary = $40,000
CPI = 85
CPI today = 150
Converting the average starting salary of 1980 into today's dollars -
Salary = Average starting salary in 1980 * (CPI today/CPI in 1980) = $40,000 * (150/85) = $70,588.23
The average starting salary of 1980 in today's dollars is $70,588.23
The average starting salary today is $65,000.
Since, the average starting salary in 1980 in today's dollars is greater, engineering majors are better off in 1980.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
