Poster: Engineering Students’ Personality Traits and Their Accommodation in Higher Education Process

Abstract

Although the prospects of engineering higher education have stayed in focus of a public debate for a number of years, this matter remains relevant for the modern society. Our research zooms in on identification of professionally relevant personality straits of current engineering students. The basic assumption underlying out research is the understanding that much depends on students’ readiness, willingness, motivation, and personal qualities. Therefore, an analysis of personality traits which are conducive to solving effectively professional challenges should be rather useful. Another important topic is development of such personality traits as a result of higher education in the process of following university courses.
