Abstract: Academic researchers as well as practitioners are becoming increasingly interested in student entrepreneurship. As a matter of fact, it focuses on students' perceptions and choices relating to new technology-based ventures. Based on the student technology-based entrepreneurship literature, this study examines the possibility of predicting engineering student perception under specific entrepreneurial approaches. Empirically, we use a sample of 140 engineering student entrepreneurs who intend to initiate an innovative technological venture. Therefore, we identify a particular configuration depending on students' entrepreneurship competencies under their entrepreneurial approach choice. Based on perception and intention, this configuration predicts students' entrepreneurial approach choice.
