Lately, less and less young people choose to pursue courses of a technical degree, such as engineering. How could young people be motivated to choose a technical specialization for the study?
Get those aspiring students into an internship or mentor program even while they are in high school. This way one can evaluate their aptitude and interest in certain technical fields. The mentor should continue to follow this student as the student progresses through college in the fields of technology and engineering. Have industry experts make presentations in high schools to let students know about what is out there and the advantages of certain technical fields.
By paying higher salaries for technical specialized people. This the very important promotion.
Technical education is very important and recommendable, however, it is expected that education curriculum of any discipline should consist of technical and practical component to give students hands on experience. Knowing theories without practical hands on experience is NOT good.
I agree with the statement that young people need to be motivated to achieve expertise in technical fields.Most of the young people choose a particular field because of peers induced motivation that may or may not be the most suitable choice and because of which we see several failures and dropouts.In addition there is low frustration tolerance taking deep roots in the young generation. Low Frustration intolerance is the inability to tolerate stressful situations and unpleasant feelings.Achieving a degree in engineering and related field requires lot of resilience and perseverance and frustration intolerance has incapacitated many young people of requisite personality traits that are essential for achieving success in the field of engineering.Yong people can be motivated to join technical fields by creating habits of living with uncertainties and frustration that may erupt during learning and training phases. In addition the pressure of getting higher cgpa must be reduced that can enable young people to have more potent cognitive and emotional resources in order to embark with confidence in the field of technology and science.

How could young people be motivated to choose a technical specialization for the study
crating awareness between students when they are at school level ,telling them how technical education creates skill and competency between them which leads to good job, good life, reducing cost of education up to the level for which conman man can think
one thing in my experience is that young guys are already sufficiently motivated to join the engineering filed. The issue with them is the selection of the type of engineering. Since there is outgrowth of huge number of emerging branches in engineering , most of the teenagers are confused to decide which branch to chose.some decide on the basis of novelty, some decide on the basis of peer suggestions, some decide on the basis of parents suggestions only handful of them turn to experts and ask them to explore the match between their interest and skills and particular type of engineering. so the moral of the story is to make it possible for young brains to access the professional who elaborate to them the suitability to opt particular type of engineering....
Motivation for self awareness and awareness about the role of engineering in the progress of a society.

Perhaps following can be considered:
I believe that a key for students to choose a technological university degree is the connection that must be established between secondary schools (and even elementary schools) and the university. That joint activities be established, either in the Educational Center or in the University, that inform children about what it means to be an engineer of a particular specialty, what are their fields of work or the important role they play in society current. For boys and girls, in many cases, engineering is the great unknown. In my university, activities of this type are carried out, under a workshop format, in a systematic way and seeking to incorporate them and connect them with the educational projects that are developed in primary and secondary schools. Another problem is the low incorporation of girls to engineering studies, in general. Perhaps, this is the subject of another question!
