focus on alternative energy and power generation. Thisprogram had its first graduates in 2014. Since then, we have undergone a continual growthprocess for Capstone Design, consisting of efforts to better integrate real-world projects that havea strong alternative energy focus and that can prepare graduates to work in the renewable energysector. In the 2022/2023 school year, capstone faculty became aware of the US Department ofEnergy Solar District Cup [7], [8] competition and went through a process to integrate thiscompetition into the program's Capstone Design. Several challenges were encountered during theprocess, leading to the goal of this paper: to share an overview of faculty experiences integratingthis competition into Capstone Design

Introduction This work details the senior project capstone experience of a group of undergraduatestudents at the California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), a medium-size, comprehensive,Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). The work is novel and potentially commercializable in thefield of energy conversion and petrochemical extraction. A thorough description of theirmethodology is provided, and their results show promise. In addition, we discuss the curriculumand project management structure that enabled an undergraduate senior project group to interfacewith oil and gas companies to
