As a result, studentshave high proficiencies for coding but are presenting

from aserious epistemological weakness: The standard model of undergraduate research is the apprenticeship model in which students are transported across this divide with little cognitive or practical preparation. Sinking or swimming, the student is then presented with a problem or project, shown the basics of how to solve the problem, and allowed to give it his/her best shot. This effort frequently takes place under the guidance of graduate students and/or research associates who themselves have little cognitive or practical preparation for this role. This research experience most often takes place late in the student's course of study and is usually pedagogically and epistemologically

evidence suggests that practicing engineers are increasingly expected to actas boundary spanners who can participate in and manage diverse local and global teams,translate competing stakeholder demands into effective design solutions, and leverage expertknowledge from multiple fields and specialties. The larger project represented by this paperresponds to this reality by proposing boundary spanning as a core meta-attribute for engineeringstudents and early career professionals. This paper more specifically offers a detailed descriptionof the study design for a major phase of this research project that involves conducting in-depth,semi-structured interviews about boundary spanning experiences with more than two dozen earlycareer engineers in the
