engineering.Prior research has shown that a strong engineering identity encourages students to persist in theirstudies despite academic challenges [10], [13] - [17]. The identity constructs include internalqualities and external support, both cited by students as necessary for the profession [10]. Thisperceived connection to their longer-term career goals may also enable students to see the valueof their current academic tasks [18] - [21]. Thus, it enables students to develop their identityduring engineering experiences such as coursework, internships and extracurricular activities.The engineering identity framework has been applied to specific courses, first year experiencesand advancement through the degree program.

Finally, in the context of quantum engineering, a field where women and certain minoritygroups are often underrepresented, experiential learning opportunities may be particularlyimpactful. Hands-on projects and labs can boost students’ confidence and identity as emergingscientists or engineers. Research on undergraduate research programs (which are a form ofexperiential learning) supports this: studies have found that when students from underrepresentedbackgrounds participate in authentic research or lab experiences, their self-efficacy in STEMincreases and their aspirations for STEM careers grow. For instance, a program documented byCarpi et al. showed significant gains in

Theinvestigation is guided by the following research questions: 1. How do doctoral engineering students at the Thayer School of Engineering conceptualize ethics within the context of their training and future careers? 2. In what ways do these conceptualizations shape their approach to professional decision-making? 3. What challenges and gaps in ethics education are perceived by doctoral students, and where might curricular or
