Abstract

Entrepreneurial education has contributed to the rapid development of a knowledge-based economy in Malaysia in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately, Malaysia has the highest unemployment rate among young college graduates. This issue prompted the Malaysian government's efforts to transform the country into an experience and understanding economy, of which "Entrepreneur" is a crucial component. One of the government's challenges is convincing students to begin their own enterprises instead of searching for employment. This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial motivation within UTeM students. Examining the notions and conceptualizations of the ideologies in the literature allowed for the development of a theoretical framework that identified the research issues and the research gap. The research design was based on a theoretical framework, with the independent variable of entrepreneurship education, including entrepreneurship curricula, teaching methodologies, and university roles in entrepreneurship development, serving as a test subject for the dependent variable of entrepreneurial motivation. To verify the variables and ensure that the questionnaire was in line with the replies asked, a preliminary survey questionnaire was designed and pre-tested with all undergraduate students from all faculty at UTeM. This quantitative study used Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 28 as the major tool of analysis. According to the findings, entrepreneurial education, including entrepreneurial curricula, teaching methodologies, and university roles, has a beneficial influence on entrepreneurial motivation. The important of this study is to demonstrate the influence of entrepreneurial education on university undergraduate students' entrepreneurial motivation. This study's findings suggested ideas and proposals for additional research as needed and appropriate to investigate entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial motivation. This study is believed to contribute or benefit industry practitioners and academic members as reference for their future research.
