Engineers do not grow on trees
Šorgo, Andrej, 1957- ; Ploj Virtič, Mateja
A deficit of engineers all over the world requires stakeholders to promote engineering careers among young people and especially females, who are stereotypically uninterested. The authors built ...predictive models of factors influencing career choices to become an engineer, and explored the differences between genders. Six hundred and twenty-four general upper secondary school students from Slovenia were surveyed by questionnaire. Statistical analysis included unidimensional, exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), and structural equations modelling (SEM). Models were of students' intentions to become an engineer. The top three factors influencing this career choice were self-interest, employability and school grades obtained. Considering all the findings, it can be concluded that the global shortage of engineers cannot be solved in an ad hoc fashion or intuitively. Schools at the pre-university level should provide information and promote engineering as a career path.
