This research aims to examine the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education programs in influencing the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of engineering students in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Morocco.
This study evaluates entrepreneurship education’s impact on engineering students’ EIs in Morocco using cross-sectional methodology and quantitative approach, using partial least squares and structural equation modeling.
Entrepreneurship education indirectly influences engineering students’ EIs through attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, with a positive impact on these antecedents.
This study has several limitations, including a small sample size of 126 engineering students from the Moroccan School of Engineering Sciences and the use of cross-sectional data, which captures student responses at a single point in time, limiting the ability to assess changes over time.
This study demonstrates that entrepreneurship education programs play a crucial role in fostering EIs among engineering students in Morocco’s HEIs. Consequently, the active role of these institutions in developing students’ entrepreneurial skills is expected to have a significant and positive impact on their EIs.
