It's a "senior capstone," basically a glorified term paper. I doubt it's expected to be publishable research. Regardless of the survey design, the fact that it's an online survey with self-selected participants renders it useless.
Nonetheless, the survey can provide the student with some data, to demonstrate use of basic analysis and graphing techniques, and the ability to write a research report. I'm sure there will be a p-value.
