  • Abstract
    The authors focus on identifying and contrasting Purdue Interest Questionnaire (PIQ) interest patterns. Interests are identified and contrasted between parallel specialities within science, engineering, technology, and managerial areas. Helping students identify and understand their technical interests relative to career fields enables the individual to make more meaningful educational and career decisions
