analytic memos; naming and operationalizing emergent codes; extractingdominant themes; and producing the final report in the form of the present research paper. Whilea full discussion of the methods outlined by Braun &Clarke (2006) is beyond the scope of thepresent work, see Ruiz et al. (2021) for more detail regarding the analysis approaches used here.In generating codes, we examined student responses for recurring or common themes. Wefocused on allowing themes to emerge from the development of initial, open codes that wouldeventually cluster around broader themes. For example, we noted in the following passagethemes related to both safety and structural engineering. [Q]uestions such as trusses that we have been working on recently
