    A structural equation model for analysis of factors associated with the choice of engineering degrees in a technical university
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-06-26) Hervás Jorge, Antonio; Guardia Olmos, Joan; Peró Cebollero, Maribel; Capilla Lladró, Roberto; Soriano Jiménez, Pedro Pablo
    Many different factors are taken into account by students when choosing a degree and university. Some of these are general considerations, such as the quality of the degree course (ratio available places/places in first choice, cut-off mark, etc.) while others are subjective factors (e.g.: friends doing the same course). This paper presents a partial multivariate model that considers the weight of the different variables linked to this decision, as identified in the bibliography. We analyzed four samples of first-year students (total n = 1790) from different engineering degree courses at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) in the 2010-2011-2012 academic years. All the students involved in the study had chosen this university and their courses as their first option. The overall effect shows that the structural model adjusts reasonably well to the different engineering courses analyzed. Similarly, the individual models for each engineering degree manage to identify the different effects involved. In the case of the engineering degree based on new technologies (ICT) the statistical effects are much greater and more statistically significant than in the other three branches of engineering considered

    Factors related with the university degree selection in spanish public university system. An structural equation model analysis
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-06-26) Guardia Olmos, Joan; Peró Cebollero, Maribel; Hervás Jorge, Antonio; Capilla Lladró, Roberto; Soriano Jiménez, Pedro Pablo
    Students take into account different factors in their choice of university studies and college. In this work we present a partial multivariate model that takes into account the weight of the different variables linked to this decision. We have studied three samples (n=372 from the Universidad Pablo de Olavide; n=2244 from the Universitat Politècnica de València, and n=543 from the Universitat de Barcelona) from several degrees in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years. The global effect shows that the structural model fits reasonably well in the three universities studied. However, there are different intensity effects, in the case of UPV and UB, they show higher intensity than in UPO. This makes us think that in most urban universities with a clear and regular offer of degrees, personal and social factors are more important than in the case of universities (UPO) with an offer and dimension not yet completely defined.
