This all provides evidencethat the ELC, its high-impact practices, its iterations, and the availability of an S-STEMscholarship for financially qualified students are indeed promoting student success inundergraduate engineering.Limitations of this study include a small sample size, a timeframe too short to consider long-termretention and graduation outcomes, and the somewhat narrow understanding of complex in-vivosocial science phenomena that occurs when only quantitative data are considered.

Unfortunately, the number of students impacted by the pandemic, either directly orindirectly, made it necessary to hold all but one class remotely as well. Even so, the studentevaluation of teaching effectiveness (SRTE) indicated up to a one-point variant between on-campus and at-home students, from 7/7 to 6/7.

Much of the research on empathy and its relatedterminology [20] is focused on teaching empathy to students and how students become moreempathetic [21]–[23]. For example, Walther et al.

Students wereasked to write briefly on what the SDGs are, then choose one direct and one indirect UN SDG toincorporate into their proposed engineering design project. 1 Sustainability was first introducedwithin the context of the UN SDGs. These goals were presented as a way of incorporatingsustainability into the design projects. Each student had to identify at least one direct and oneindirect goal for their design and then the team worked together to identify the best direct andindirect goals to focus on as they developed their proposed designs.
