The first interviewfocused on understanding their background, pathway to engineering, pathway to their engineeringmajor, and first-year engineering experiences. The second interview protocol elicited responsesabout their experiences throughout their second year of engineering. We also asked students abouttheir classroom experiences (intellectual), resources, and connections that were related to theirexperiences (institutional), and interactions with faculty and staff in the college of engineering,peers in engineering, and professionals in their field (networking).

The rationale behind using both the UNSustainable Development Goals and the Envision Rating System arose during a workshop at the2018 ASEE Annual Conference, “Applications of the Envision Rating System in EngineeringCourses and Curricula.” [4] Workshop participants were asked to look at the 17 UN SustainableDevelopment Goals, each with 10 objectives, select one goal and match it to the Envision
