Popis: The purpose of this study is to find out the factors that have an effect on students, especially in the natural science track, would enter the college of Engineering. For this, the data of KEEP was used, and logistic regression was utilized for analyzing this data. The dependent variables are ‘Entering the college of engineering’ and ‘No entering the college of engineering’. The probable independent variables are ‘Sex’, ‘Interest in mathematics’, ‘mathematics study achievement’, ‘Interest in Science’, ‘Science study achievement’, ‘The area of book that is read’, ‘The area of club’, ‘Knowing about working environment and task of the job’ and ‘Knowing about prospect and wage of the job’. The results are as follows. These are ‘Sex’, ‘Knowing about working environment and task of the job’, ‘Knowing about prospect and wage of the job’ that affect statistically entering the college of engineering. In other words, the male student who know working environment, task, prospect and wage of the job well may enter the college of Engineering.
