Description: A continuing nation-wide decline in high school student enrolment in higher level mathematics and science is leading to a reduction in the number of students undertaking university engineering programs in Australia. The project 'Engineering Choices, Engineering Futures' is directed toward a better understanding of the reasons behind this trend and the development of strategies to reverse it. The project therefore aims to determine the factors that contribute most to enrolment in engineering courses, and utilise this information directly to develop an optimised national strategy for promoting mathematics and science studies to students in order to increase enrolments in engineering at university level.
