Abstract: A survey with 53 questions was carried out among the second-year students of the Faculty of electrical engineering and computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in June 2020, to acquire feedback about the motives of engineering students to elect economics/business-related courses when they have alternatives, their previous knowledge of economic topics, and basic financial literacy. The gender differences in the answers were statistically tested, showing no important differences. However, the structure of the population implied that the female students were less interested in the economics/business courses.
