This was mostly done through just an evaluation of prior experience, specifically the student's performance in a class required by the major (Senior Design). Past performance on graded projects were evaluated, most likely. Other factors that probably played a role were dedication to the project at hand, past interactions with the employer during group meetings concerning the project, and the overall turnout of the final deliverable.

Typical interview process, streamlined and pretty straightforward. More of an evaluation really. Prior experience and projects were heavily taken into their consideration. Evaluation also focused on several things, such as: past projects and their grades, group projects, deliverables, learning outcomes, etc. Also, took into consideration past experiences working alongside the employer and fellow co workers.
