Problem
State governments use a variety of advisory and regulatory bodies. Example responsibilities include oversight of professional engineering licensing and the pricing and operation of regulated utilities. Engineers bring skills, knowledge, and perspectives that are useful in this context. Often the public role is a part-time one, and engineers that fulfill it will also have fulltime jobs as employees or owners of engineering firms.

(b) What guidelines for process or outcomes are there in your home state?
(c) Summarize and analyze an example situation from the local newspaper, your hometown newspaper, or a news magazine.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
