Longitudinal research of motivation for mechanical engineering study at the University of Zagreb
The recent Croatian societal turn toward economical development based more on engineering and other science and technology fields encouraged an increase of enrollment quotas in engineering academic study programs. Since previous, relatively occasional, Croatian research findings have indicated stable predominance of intrinsic motivation in Croatian students to enroll engineering study, this article analyzes possible changes in motivational structure in time when Croatia was exhausted by a prolonged economic recession. The article is based on the findings of a longitudinal survey conducted with mechanical engineering students at the University of Zagreb in three consecutive years (2013 - 2015). The persistence of intrinsic motivation is singled out as a stable factor, mostly through general interest in the field of science and technology, notwithstanding job, pay and career have being of important concern. Additionally, structure of motivational factors seems to be significantly gendered. On the other side, findings which deal with variables of family's educational features and houshold revenues seem to be mixed.
