solving is an important skill for engineers. Among the most common waysthat open-ended problem solving is incorporated in the curriculum is through capstone designexperiences. Although ubiquitous in undergraduate degree programs2,8, capstone design has alsobeen included in master’s degree programs, sometimes in place of the thesis4 or as a non-thesisoption for students on an industry-oriented career track6. Typically these capstone experiencesintegrate technical skills from multiple classes, and in some cases, they span multiple semesters.The literature on undergraduate capstone design offers insight into important factors for asuccessful industry-based project2.

assessments include Likert-style feedback questions regarding interest, theappreciation of engineering activities, and the likelihood of pursuing an engineering career. Theassessment feedback for these activities most often demonstrates that many participants didincrease their interest in engineering. The catch is that it is difficult to determine long-lastingeffects from one-day activities, especially over the many years that may transpire before studentsattend college. Institutions may instead prioritize the offering of recruitment events to gain theattention of underrepresented high school students so that they will apply and/or attend.Consequently, understanding the yield of students from such events can guide theimplementation of subsequent
