improvement in teamwork skills9.One limitation of these studies is that these professional skills can be very difficult to quantify.Unlike measures of post-graduation salary, which have been shown by several researchers to behigher in co-op students1,3 it is only relatively recently that the professional skills have beenstudied in a systematic way5. The capstone design experience provides a unique opportunity tofocus on these professional skills in a somewhat controlled environment. Although the projectsvary widely in topic, scope, and difficulty, one would expect that a team composed of individualswith good teamwork and project management skills should be able to produce a final design thatshows good technical skills, a logical thought process, and

I also use these skills to evaluate the effectiveness of programs. I use R and other statistical software for my analyses and reports. I am continually expanding my skill set in statistics and data science to best answer research questions.

STEM collegeeducation. These findings have important implications. First, it is imperative to design STEM outreachprograms with engaging activities that help increase participants' knowledge of STEM, becausesuch programs boost students' confidence in their readiness for relatively challenging STEM highereducation that leads to a STEM career. In addition, the CCSU NSTI program receives significantcontributions from female professionals, exposing students to successful female role models. Thispractice is supposed to have positive impacts on female students' pursuit of STEM,13 but more workis needed to cultivate female high school students' interest and persistence in STEM. The followingare respective activities that, in concert with each
