The semi-structured interviews in particular willreveal how students’ perceptions of engineering practice change longitudinally and the degree to whichthe aforementioned educational activities influence that trajectory. In addition, the larger group ofstudents who are invited to participate in surveys will enable us to draw inferences from a broader sampleabout intention to persist as well as baseline levels of familiarity with engineering in general.

Holistic means that the interventionshould address both cognitive and affective components.

In these early years surveying was taught inmathematics departments and later in civil engineering departments. The American Society ofCivil Engineering (ASCE) was founded in 1852, and one of its early technical divisions was theSurveying Engineering Division. This was founded in 1926 [2] in order to provide leadership insurveying. For many years surveying grew under the wing of civil engineering. The

Generation Science Standards, which have not yet been released, intend tomotivate all students to engage actively in science and engineering practices. With the focus nowshifting more heavily on technology, research, technical reading and communication, classroompractices must also change to meet these needs. From an inspirational standpoint, the framework [for K-12 Science Education] emphasizes the importance of technology and engineering in solving meaningful problems. From a practical standpoint, the Framework notes that engineering and technology provide opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of science by applying their developing scientific knowledge in different contexts.

A fifth pool was comprised of students en-gaged in Engineers Without Borders – USA at more than twenty universities across the nation.Participants were randomly assigned to one of two methodological groups: (1) online survey of150 questions (n=254), or (2) online survey plus 30 minute interview (n=120). Participation isplanned for three years, biannually; this paper shares some findings from the first year, Springand Fall 2011.
