Althoughthere have been some qualitative studies on the topic of major selection, this remains a gap in theliterature that career theories can be used to explain.Career theories can provide insight into reasons for major selection among first-year collegestudents. While some researchers focus on person-environment fit career theories (Porter &Umbach, 2006) in which the focus is on understanding how the environment suits or does notsuit the individual’s personality, others theories place emphasis on self-efficacy beliefs, personalgoals, and outcome expectations (Lent et al., 2008; Miller et al, 2015).

Students may also hold misconceptions regarding the nature oftechnological careers and this may also dissuade them from participating. Exposing students togreen energy and sustainability topics as a STEM context may be a motivating approach andwhen coupled with clarifying career information, it may sharpen much of the generallyambiguous knowledge on these topics. The understanding students gain might then change theirattitudes regarding STEM careers and lead to pursuit of academic studies leading to
