The research group at our University recognizes the need to increaseretention rates at the Engineering College and has created the ELC to support increasedretention. Three cohorts of ELC students have been observed to determine the potential successof this project. The results from this study indicate that participation in the ELC is beneficial

PBL allows learners toengage with complex problems which require them to use and develop problem-solvingstrategies in collaborative groups [5]-[7].Problem-based Learning is also a student-centered approach to learning [6], [8]. In the PBLenvironment, the instructor serves as a guide as opposed to the purveyor of knowledge. Aslearners work together in collaborative groups, the instructor supports and facilitates the learners’knowledge construction through the problem-solving process. This complex learning approach,rooted in solving authentic problems, promotes higher-order thinking skills, cooperativeproblem-solving, and has as its goal the transition of the learner from novice to expert [9].

This licensure is also requiredfor those who operate their own engineering consulting business or any other business with“engineering” in the name [4].

Overcoming Barriers to Learning: By identifying any misconceptions or apprehensions students may have about data science, educators can design interventions that address these issues directly. This might include demystifying data science, showcasing its integral role in solving real-world chemical engineering problems, and providing supportive learning environments that encourage experimentation and inquiry. 3. Enhancing Motivation and Engagement: Understanding students' willingness to engage with data science can help educators employ strategies that boost motivation.

First, it offers practices,recommendations, and principles of inclusive teaching both within and outside engineeringeducation. Second, some of this literature also addresses faculty challenges related toimplementing these pedagogies.One major component of diversifying the engineering profession is through creating a moreinclusive
