Profiles of Vocational Interests Favorable for the Integration of Environmental Engineering Students

Summary/Abstract: We approach the study of students' vocational interests as a determinant of the performance in academic activity and the essential premise of personal career strategy, insertion and professional integration at graduation. We treat vocational interests as manifestations of personality, as educated dimensions, expressions of the person's preferences for certain types of activities, for example innovative/conventional, theoretical/practical, individual/team, and certain professional development environments, as would be industrial/ laboratory, in nature/in built space, in institutional space/at the employee's option, etc. The integration of these two variables, the type in question, the environment of the professional activity preferred by the person outlines ten general occupational themes. In this paper, we aim to know the vocational requirements of different occupations in the field of environmental engineering through the perspective of practitioners, specialists working in the respective fields on concrete functions in order to determine the Practical Models of Vocational Requirements.
