Not only did all scholars self-report a change inidentity from that of a high school student to a college student, but they also all identified asengineering college students following the summer bridge program. This change in identityseemed to develop from a combination of the opportunities they had to engage in

courseBFCIT has their largest attrition rate after the first semester and a first semester project-based course mayhelp to address that. Research [17] has shown that highly impactful educational practices include firstyear experiences that involve teams in research and service learning. Therefore, in their first semester,freshman Scholars, as well as BFCIT EE freshmen, meet for six hours per week in three two-hoursessions, each led by a full-time EE faculty member, to work in teams on projects that teach aboutelectrical engineering; projects include those involving wind and solar energy, electric motors, robotics,and general electrical engineering laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, andmultimeters. Software such as LabVIEW™ and
