Thus, weintroduced an addendum to our weekly departmental research seminar series which we call the“Evan & Eddie Show.” Adopting the talk show format, our UT Austin biomedical engineeringdepartment faculty Dr. Huiliang Wang (“Evan”) and Dr. Edward Castillo (“Eddie”) interview theseminar speaker about their journey to their current position. No advance preparation is required bythe speaker since the activity is centered on conversation. However, speakers are offered theopportunity to suggest questions that they would like to be asked and/or to provide backgroundabout themselves to inform the interview plan.

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

special capabilities of Excel in solving engineering problems are planned to be explored inthe redesigned course first, before covering the utility of the other two selected computing tools.This decision was made due to the fact that the majority of students already have some basicfamiliarity with Excel, and therefore can probably better grasp the programming fundamentalsusing this basic tool first. One sample Excel spreadsheet for analyzing a beam is presented in thispart of the paper to better illustrate the utility of this computing tool in the discussed computingcourse.
