    Survey
In summary, the conversation is about a project to create a database of undergraduate engineering students' application statistics. The speaker is now at the point of collecting data and is asking for current or prospective engineering applicants to take a survey. They provide a link to the survey and mention that the information may eventually become publicly available. There is also a discussion about the title of the thread and how it should be changed to attract the right audience. The speaker mentions that only a moderator can change the title.

Hey,

For the last couple days I've been working on a project to create a database of application statistics/details of undergraduate engineering students to help future engineering applicants. I'm now at the point where I need to start collecting data for the database! If you're a current or prospective engineering applicant and have already received your admissions results from universities then I would be over the moon if you could take this survey for me (it won't take more than 5 minutes).

Please bear in mind that the information you give could eventually become publicly available, so if you don't want to provide certain information then feel free to leave it out.

Thanks a million!

The title of the thread should refer to "engineering students" and not "engineers". The title is drawing in engineers and wasting their time and it is shunning the students you are trying to attract to your survey.

Ah damn, that was an accidental error. I would change the title myself but it appears that it can only be done by a moderator.

Yes, I believe that is true. You should try to contact one and see if they can change it for you.

I can appreciate the importance of data collection in research and understand the value of this project for future engineering applicants. However, as an ethics-minded individual, I must caution against publicly sharing personal information without the explicit consent of the individuals involved. It is important to ensure that all data collection and sharing practices are in compliance with ethical standards and regulations. I recommend reaching out to your university's Institutional Review Board for guidance on how to proceed with this project in an ethical manner. Best of luck with your research.
