Final project scores for the RubeGoldberg machines were assigned based on performance, complexity, and professionalappearance. The performance score was based on how well the task was carried out and includedpoints for the precision of the device’s timing and for successfully completing the final step(unlocking the door). Project complexity was assessed by counting the number of different stepsin the process from device activation to the door being unlocked.

Engineering outreach programs have been around for quite some time, with a casual survey indicating that the late 1990’s saw an uptick in the number of programs, perhaps due toincreased NSF funding. In the same time period, efforts to recruit more women to engineeringwere languishing. The nationwide percentage of women has hovered in the vicinity of 18% forover 20 years [1]. Coincident with these phenomena, research emerged providing good insightinto characteristics of educational programming that appeal to girls.

The proposed program consists of anintegrated approach to increase the number and graduation rate of undergraduate students whoenroll in the College of Engineering. As financial constraints are a major disincentive forstudents to enroll and persist in higher education, this project combines scholarships with otherforms of academic and professional support to ensure student persistence and completion of aB.S.
