Analysis of Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Interest of Automotive Engineering Education Students at UPI in the Automotive Field
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the entrepreneurial interest of UPI Automotive Engineering Education students in the automotive sector. The study used a quantitative method with a descriptive approach to 30 respondents through the distribution of Likert scale questionnaires. The results showed that students' entrepreneurial interest was in the high category with an average value of 3.72. The results of the validity test showed that all statement items were valid because they had a calculated r value > r table (0.361), while the results of the reliability test showed a Cronbach's Alpha value > 0.90 so that the instrument was declared very reliable. Factors such as entrepreneurship education, motivation, industrial practice experience, and social environment influenced students' entrepreneurial interest in the automotive sector.
