| Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explain the variances between the observed factors related to research project topic selection among final year undergraduate students of Takoradi Technical University in Ghana. A cross-sectional research method was adopted for the study wheretotalcompleted questionnaire of 345 fromthe students were received through the application of convenience sampling technique. The principal component analysis yield a KMO measure of sampling adequacy of 0.750 indicating sufficient items for each factor. The results of this study suggest personal goal, department goal and resource goal as the most important factors related to undergraduate project topic selection which could guide university students and staff in the successful completion of the project work. The limitation to the findings of the study regards the assumption of the adequacy of the constructs to satisfactorily measured students’ views on the factors influencing undergraduate research project topic selection in the university. However, the research paper shed important implication for faculty and non–faculty members to provide support to students during the project work process. |
