This study employs a quantitative method using the questionnaire instrument. Data is obtained from 345 respondents comprising of final year students from various public institutes of higher learning in Malaysia. Findings revealed that the students from these public institutes demonstrated a high interest in entrepreneurial intention (mean=3.67, SD=.54) and a moderate level of sel-efficacy (mean=3.22, SD=.71). Findings also pointed out that self-efficacy is significantly associated with entrepreneurial intention (β=.45, p<.01) as exhibited by the engineering students in these institutes. These findings further reinforces an element of Bandura Social Learning Theory which states that self-efficacy is able to influence the entrepreneurial intention amongst engineering students in public institutions. As a result, public instituitions can emphasize strategies to increase the degree of self-efficacy amongst students to enhance the level of entrepreneurial intention. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are also discussed along with recommendations for the further improvement of institution management. 2020-12-31T01:20:41Z 2020-12-31T01:20:41Z 2018 Article MATEC Web of Conferences, vol.150, 2018, 6 pages 2261-236X (online) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/69195 https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201815005051 en Malaysia Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology (MUCET 2017); EDP Sciences
