In our previous work we examined surveying students tounderstand how they found out about surveying and what got them interested in this major.While this provided us with some important insights, it only reflected the opinion of studentswho already selected surveying. In Fall of 2022, we expanded our sample by surveying first-yearstudents at six Penn State campuses in order to understand their perceptions about surveying.The online survey helped students to understand the main characteristics of surveyingengineering and helped them update their self-beliefs about surveying.
