student feedback.Specifically, it assesses student preferences for Teaching Assistant (TA) support in engineeringcourses at a large public research university. This work complements existing research with anin-depth comparative analysis of NLP approaches to examining qualitative data within the realmof engineering education, utilizing survey data (training set = 1359, test set = 341) collected from2017 to 2022. The challenges and intricacies of multiple types of classification errors emergingfrom five NLP methods are highlighted: Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Non-NegativeMatrix Factorization (NMF), BERTopic, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), and PrincipalComponent Analysis (PCA). These results are compared with results from traditional

to erode trust in the data (11/24 participants) and can lead to a more dangerousinterpretation of variability (2/24 participants). These results have important implications forcommunication on interdisciplinary teams and teaching statistics to engineering students.IntroductionVariability is ubiquitous in engineering but its impact is often ignored, sometimes to dangerouseffect. For example, in the 1940s the U.S. Air Force had serious issues with uncontrollableaircraft: At the height of this calamity 17 pilots crashed in a single day [1]. The standard at thetime was to design aircraft for “the average man,” with non-adjustable controls assuming fixedhuman dimensions. Gilbert Daniels [2] studied the measurements of 4063 pilots, and found
