In this paper, the student responses from three semesters of freshmenlevel design classes are evaluated for involvement and self-efficacy based on whether or not a 3Dmodeling project requires the use of makerspace equipment. The study finds that students requiredto use the makerspace for the project were significantly more likely to become involved in themakerspace.These results inspired us to integrate a qualitative approach to examine how student involvementand exposure to

: reflection [2, 3].Reflection is often used to promote cognitive development and can help students learn morefrom projects, internships, and other educational experiences [4]. For example, a common in-class reflective activity is the “exam wrapper”: shortly after an exam, students articulate whatthey did that helped them do well on the exam and what they could do differently to improvetheir performance on a future exam. In this work, our teaching innovation is using reflection topromote understanding and development of leadership as a professional skill. By reflecting oncourse-related activities through a leadership lens, students appreciate that these experiences arehelping them develop leadership skills. To facilitate reflection on leadership
