Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of education and entrepreneurial mindset on entrepreneurial intention, the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial mindset, and the role of mediating variables on student entrepreneurial intention. A cross-sectional research method was conducted using a quantitative approach, with data collected through the distribution of Google Forms questionnaires. The research subjects were up to 140 electrical engineering students from Padang State University's engineering faculty. The research subjects were selected using the Slovin sampling technique with a significance level (e = 0.05). Data analysis techniques used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that entrepreneurship education (H1) and entrepreneurial mindset (H3) significantly influenced students' entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education significantly affects students' entrepreneurial mindset (H2). Moreover, the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' intention to pursue entrepreneurship is mediated by entrepreneurial attitude (H4). These findings indicate that every hypothesis put forth is highly accepted.
