Thecombination of rigorous coursework, the freedom to try and fail, and significant peer and staffsupport allows for the failure and mastery experiences needed to develop self-efficacy and agrowth mindset.19, 24Other aspects of RESP were also designed based on a number of best practices in the field.Research demonstrates study groups are a crucial aspect of success in undergraduate STEMprograms.25 Because most students in RESP were among the most capable in their high school,few arrive at Rice having worked extensively in groups of equally capable peers. Additionally,students from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields may resist asking for help soas not to confirm

between howbeginning and informed designers typically address each phase of the engineering designprocess.16 For example, Crismond and Adams note that when generating ideas, beginningdesigners typically practice idea scarcity—working with a few ideas on which they can becomefixated. On the contrary, informed designers typically practice idea fluency, in which they usebrainstorming and divergent thinking to ensure they are working with many ideas. WhileCrismond and Adams make the claim that children are included in their framework as beginningdesigners, their classification is primarily supported with research on undergraduate24,25 andprofessional engineers26. Other research has pushed on the characterization of children asbeginning designers
