The impact on recruitingengineering students from under-represented populations (URP) potentially extends to issueswith future career opportunities as well. (We use URP to refer to both female students andstudents from racial/ethnic minority populations.) Industry sponsors willingly pay for theprivilege of recruiting graduates from these teams, apparently because they believe that SELECToffer educational and professional advantages. The question of whether URP students have equalopportunity to participate in SELECT is therefore also one of whether URP students receiveequal
