More specifically, following a general introduction to the foundations of cognitiveprocesses found in psychology, and creative process found in two- and three-dimensional artinstruction, we offer developmental instruction in the following areas: Metacognition and thinking processes—students engage in activities that requirethem to plan, reflect upon, and modify their own thinking processes and strategies, as well asadapt these methodologies to meet the needs of a specific design problem.

For Cohort1 Scholars (recruited for Fall 2018), student ambassadors consisted of academically successfuljuniors and seniors who were also leaders of professional societies. These Cohort 1 Scholars will,in turn, serve as student ambassadors for Cohort 2 Scholars (to be recruited for Fall 2019). Underthe mentorship of student ambassadors, the Scholars take part in a variety of daily activitiesincluding a moderated reflection session at the end of each day.The program is structured as follows:  It takes place during the summer prior to entering college.  It spans two full weeks, from Sunday through the second Saturday.  Each Scholar is paired with a student ambassador throughout the course of the program

The collection must include studentparticipation in selecting contents, the criteria for selection, the criteria for judging merit, andevidence of student self-reflection.’ Cambridge, et al.2 observed that portfolios have at least fourfeatures that represent improvements in standard educational practice (see also, Hamp-Lyons andCondon3).

].In education, identity influences whether people feel they belong in a program and what theybelieve they can achieve. Identity has been shown to influence what goals are pursued and thelevel and type of effort put towards those goals [13]. Research also shows that identity and fit areimportant factors affecting persistence in STEM fields [9]. When people perceive a fit betweenthemselves and their fields, they persist longer in those fields [19] - [21]. Hence, identity is adetermining factor in one pursuing, persisting, and persevering in engineering [12], [22].The development of identity is a social process. People’s thoughts and behaviors are shapedthrough relationships and reflected appraisals with others [6], [18], [23]. Identities are
