Factors Influencing the Career Choice of College Freshmen in Science and Engineering: A Study of Private and Public Universities


This study aims to describe the different factors that might influence the students’ career choice in higher education that eventually led them to choose a career in science or engineering. Five hundred forty students were chosen from three private universities and the three public universities in National Capital Region. This study was conducted during the first semester or were determined from experimental results by least squares method (LSM) using MATLAB software. The developed models would describe the behavior of reaction temperature on the changes of reactants’ concentration, which could aid in the design of applicable feedback control system. Linear mathematical models that best describe the effect of the above mentioned parameters did not exceed second order.
