ofparticipants’ coursework and interviews.1. IntroductionCareer development is an important part of emerging adulthood and the experiences of post-secondary students. Particularly in the modern context, where technological advancement hassignificantly altered the world of work and will continue to do so [1], all students, includingengineering students, need to be equipped to define their careers in this rapidly changingenvironment. Engineering, which is perceived as an established profession and defined field,does not seem to instinctively warrant career development support since students may appearcareer-decided. However, although engineering students have selected a profession, and themajority of engineering graduates work in a related sector upon

This paper seeks to add to this scholarship by producing an analysis of how studentsconstruct various stakeholders in a sociotechnical scenario, with particular attention to how theseconstructions inform students' understanding of harm from engineering in the context of thepresented scenario. The analysis finds that (i) the individual stakeholder constructions do notemerge in isolation and are instead entangled with each other, forming an ecology in which eachconstruction is informed by and informs the others; and (ii
