DISCUSSIONThe first author led the efforts to conducted a preliminary data analysis for thisconference presentation and developed a visualization to describe trends that theynoticed in the data. On this slide, we plan to walk through the data analysis process:open coding, themes, visualization, and verification. Open coding was done withMAXQDA by a 4-author team, financial themes were identified by a 3-author team,visualization was done by a 3-author team, and preliminary verification was done by athree-author team. This big (and small) project has very much function in ‘stages’ andwe are still in a preliminary stage. 9 Preliminary Findings INTRODUCTION

Theemphasis is on enhancing students' ability to confront social and ethical dilemmas in theirprofessional lives, acknowledging the crucial role that ethical decision-making plays inengineering practice.One approach is to integrate ethics and societal impact (ESI) issues directly into senior capstonedesign courses. This integration can be achieved through various methods, including dedicatedlectures, discussions, and project work that emphasize ethical decision-making in engineeringpractice. According to a 2016 national survey [8], 40% of engineering faculty include ethics andsocietal impacts (ESI) in capstone design courses.

Early exposure to scienceand math is linked with students’ interest in engineering careers [11]. Though the survey used inthis evaluation has been used in research studies and evaluations of other K-12 outreach projects[12], those researchers have not focused on the survey’s questions about the personal factorsstudents consider when choosing a career field.
