In recent years, the reduction in the number of engineering first semester students has raised concerns in the main universities of the metropolitan area of Cali. Through a micro-economical approach, the current work analyzes the most influential factors affecting the decision to study an engineering career. For such purpose, we used a sample of 1,025 first semester students registered at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana of Cali during the 2006-1, 2006-2 and 2007-1 periods. The information was analyzed through a logit multinomial model. The results indicate that good experiences in mathematics and an outstanding academic performance self-concept regarding that area increase the odds of opting for engineering studies. Likewise, engineering s...
