This study addresses how engineering students perceive their Entrepreneurship Thinking (ET) development during their university studies. Is the development of ET due to the incorporation of ET-based projects and activities into their curricula, or is it achieved through students’ participation in extracurricular activities? Alternatively, ET development may be due to students cultivating ET through work or internship. Therefore, this study seeks to address the following research questions: What types of experiences contribute to students’ ET development, and what ET elements do students perceive to have been developed through these experiences? The study included a qualitative analysis of surveys with engineering students to identify the experiences that contributed to their ET development, as well as the specific ET characteristics ETphasized in these experiences. By understanding students' perceptions of how they develop their ET, this study provides the information needed to identify best practices for future student ET development.
