interventions to create change.Background – Utility Value Theory Research in social psychology has continually shown that students’ expectancies for success(e.g., self-efficacy) and the perceived value of a particular career predicts motivation to pursuethat career. Classic work within this Expectancy-Value framework (e.g., Eccles et al., 1983) hasexamined this relationship for decades on primarily non-engineering students (e.g., math andbiology, Eccles, 1984; Wigfield & Eccles, 1992; Sullins, Hernandez, Fuller, & Tashiro, 1995).Until relatively recently, the focus of expectancy-value research has centered predominately onthe “expectancy” side of the theory (and has extended into other theories such as social-cognitivecareer theory, Lent

preparation for the engineeringdemands of the urban infrastructure will need study beyond the baccalaureate degree. Ourproposal is not to minimize the academic preparation but to make it more flexible and therebyprovide an academic preparation inclusive of a broader range of careers for which (we feel) anengineering degree is appropriate.For example, current engineering programs place much emphasis on advanced mathematics,which is not required for the majority of engineering works in the urban infrastructure. This isnot to suggest that advanced mathematics should be trivialized. Rather, mathematics appropriateto an application should be required, with just as much intellectual rigor as would be found incourses of advanced mathematics. The important

They are highly motivated and havehigh expectations, anticipating that they will assume leadership roles in their careers and willingto work hard to accomplish this objective. For this reason, among others, we believe that itwould be inappropriate to straight-jacket our students with an overly rigid curriculum

Recently, Gill and Hoppe3 suggested five „motivational profiles‟ that canlead business professionals to doctoral studies: traditional (entry to academia), advanced entry(professional development), continuing development (professional advancement), transition(entry to a new career), and personal fulfillment (self-enhancement). Gill and Hoppe believe thatthe first two profiles may occur in early career stages, the second two profiles may occur in mid-to-late career stages, while the personal fulfillment may apply to individuals at any stage of theirlife.In the engineering field, Carpinelli, et al.4
