-structured problems, some felt uncomfortable due to the problems’ ambiguity. Kirn and Benson [19] explored how engineering students perceived problem solving andtheir future goals, and found that students used different problem solving approaches dependingon how well the problem aligned with their future goals. They also found that students felt thatcontext played an important role in their problem solving processes. In addition, Jocuns et al.’s[20] findings showed that freshmen had little idea about what type of work they would be doingwhen they graduate. In another study, Adams et al. [21] investigated engineering students’ andprofessionals’ perceptions of problem solving and creativity and found that both students andprofessionals had a

[Lent etal., 2002]. The SCCT explains that several factors such as person background, self-efficacy,outcome expectation, and environmental supports and barriers either directly or indirectly impactstudents’ career choice and future work performance. In this study, we utilized SCCT tounderstand how CE students perceived environmental supports and barriers is related toparticipating in research, which in turn may impact research career decision makings. Forexample, Dolan (2016) reported that proving an UG research opportunity for engineeringstudents benefits them to explore the research and pursue research career. Thus, supportingundergraduate students to participate in research can be one way of supporting students to pursueresearch career
