Attitude of budding engineers towards entrepreneurship

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a process of creating wealth by individuals, which requires competency, skills, and knowledge. It is the capacity to identify an investment opportunity and organize an enterprise, therefore contributing to economic growth. The final-year students of any engineering institute have a job option after graduation. In this era of digitization and technical innovation, emerging engineers, both male and female, have numerous options to create their own businesses. This study has been done to assess the attitudes of young engineers in Tripura, India, regarding entrepreneurship. The study is based on primary data, and respondents are undergraduate students seeking engineering degrees. The findings of the study indicate that a good number of aspiring engineers will be participating in entrepreneurial activities in the near future. The study also identifies four major elements, including leadership quality, knowledge and skills, ease of doing business, and government attitude, that influence budding engineers' entrepreneurship.
