Motivations of engineering students

Abstract

The public image of the engineer is highly favourable. He is regarded as a member of a professional class. He is admired for his skills in mathematics and science, two ‘glamour’ studies. He is respected in the community, considered to be mechanically oriented and admired both for his skills and successes.
