What is it about?
This article researches the structure of motivation for training in engineering specialties as well as the satisfaction from it. It analyses the main factors that form students’ motivation for training and the interrelationships between them. A comparative analysis of the state of the motivational structure is carried out of the opinions of both lecturers and students in engineering specialties, taking into account the similarities and differences between them. The article identifies the specific factors that form the motivation for the students in the aforementioned specialties, the problems in their training, and gives guidelines for their overcoming in order to improve the quality of training. The results of the research would contribute to raising the interest in training in engineering specialties, attracting and retaining motivated learners, and meeting the growing shortage of engineers on the labor market.

Why is it important?
In recent years there has been a decline in student motivation in the training process. This necessitates the study of the structure of motivation for training in engineering specialties and the development of new models for attracting and retaining motivated students.
Perspectives
The results of the study will contribute to improving the quality of training and increasing the interest in engineering training in order to attract and retain motivated learners and meet the growing shortage of engineering professionals in the labor market. The online survey includes trainees and lecturers in engineering specialities from three Bulgarian universities: Vasil Levski National Military University, Technical University of Sofia, Todor Kableshkov University of Transport. The next survey envisages a larger number of trainees and professors from the listed universities and other universities in the country and abroad in order to detail the complex motivational structure.
