Pizza Ticket from 2004major, and the majority of the students simply answered “college”. Results from the 2004 ticketswere much more specific.At the end of the competition, we hand each teacher/advisor a packet of evaluation forms forboth the students and the teacher. The evaluation form asks for suggestions for improvement onthe rules, facilities, and poster session. It also asks a series of questions that we use to judge theeffectiveness of recruiting students to engineering: • Did you enjoy the Chem-E-Car Competition? • Have you ever considered engineering as a career field
