Abstract	[In this article the authors] present results from the European research project UPDATE, aiming at improving science and technology education in Europe. It deals with motivational factors and barriers for girls/boys and women/men to choose a university subject in a technical domain. They show similarities and differences between Germany and Austrian male and female engineering and non-engineering university students with regard to their retrospectively remembered self-efficacy and interests in science and technology in childhood, and the image an engineer's occupation has for them. In general they point to the importance of early processes of socialization and to the role of compulsory courses in technical education already in primary school. (DIPF/Orig.).
