The purpose of this paper is to understand whether entrepreneurial education imbibes entrepreneurial orientation (EO) among engineering students. The authors wanted to test whether students’ performance in the Technology Entrepreneurship Programme (TEP) influences the propensity of entrepreneurial firms to hire them.,Data was collected from 1,296 students who were enrolled with the two-year TEP during the academic year 2016–2018 using structured questionnaires. Multinomial and Ordinary Least Squares regressions were used to examine the hypotheses.,The findings of this study suggest that superior student performance in the programme is positively correlated with the students being hired by entrepreneurial firms.,This study identifies aspects of EO that relates with employability. The positive relationship found between student performance in the programme and chances of getting hired insists on the need to inculcate entrepreneurial values among students at the college level. The findings will also provide valuable insights for graduate entrepreneurs, policymakers, corporates and educators on multiple dimensions for customizing EO among students during their study at college level.,The authors used a live intervention titled TEP as empirical context to explore how training in entrepreneurial, design and management concepts influences EO. The authors also tracked the success of the programme through actual job offers made to the participants of the programme.

创业教育在培养工科学生创业导向中的作用

本文的目的是了解创业教育是否吸收了工科学生的创业倾向（EO）。作者想测试学生在技术创业计划（TEP）中的表现是否会影响创业公司雇用他们的倾向。数据收集自2016-2018学年两年期TEP的1,296名学生使用结构化问卷。多项式和普通最小二乘回归法用于检验假设。这项研究的结果表明，该计划中优秀的学生表现与创业公司聘用的学生正相关。该研究确定了与就业能力有关的EO方面。在该计划中学生的表现与被录取的机会之间存在正相关关系，坚持认为需要在大学层次上灌输企业家价值观。研究结果还将为研究生企业家，政策制定者，企业和教育工作者在大学学习期间从多个维度为学生定制EO方面提供有价值的见解。作者使用名为TEP的现场干预作为经验背景来探索如何培训企业家，设计和管理概念会影响EO。作者还通过向计划参与者提供实际工作机会来跟踪计划的成功。研究结果还将为研究生企业家，政策制定者，企业和教育工作者在大学学习期间从多个维度为学生定制EO方面提供有价值的见解。作者使用名为TEP的现场干预作为经验背景来探索如何培训企业家，设计和管理概念会影响EO。作者还通过向计划参与者提供实际工作机会来跟踪计划的成功。研究结果还将为研究生企业家，政策制定者，企业和教育工作者在大学学习期间从多个维度为学生定制EO方面提供有价值的见解。作者使用名为TEP的现场干预作为经验背景来探索如何培训企业家，设计和管理概念会影响EO。作者还通过向计划参与者提供实际工作机会来跟踪计划的成功。
