Abstract

Subject differences between social science and engineering students are likely to have an influence on their interest in studying entrepreneurship. This research study seeks to identify, whether these influences affect their interest to become entrepreneurs in the future. Results are expected to be able to contribute to the development of entrepreneurship curriculum to students, especially students of non-management. Surveys were administered to the students who get entrepreneurship courses, both social science and engineering students, as respondent. Interest in social science students to become entrepreneurs is higher than the engineering students, but even then not too large when compared with students who just want to work as an employee or who want to continue their education. Special entrepreneurship program, need to be design to increase student interest, especially for engineering students. The curriculum designers need to pay attention to specific areas of expertise in engineering that can be used as a reference to generate an interest in entrepreneurship.
