). Interviews also explored students’ perceptionsof engineering problems and their approaches to solving them. Directed content analysis wasapplied, and data revealed distinct types of FTP characteristics. In general, students with well-developed future perceptions and who see connections between their future and present seekrelevance and structure in problems they solve. Students with vague or broad future perceptionsseek to create, explore, and help others.Relationships between student motivation towards their future careers and the actions they takein the present can be used by educators to increase interest in engineering and prepare students tobecome effective engineers.
