Entrepreneurship is still young and developing in Mongolia, yet it is the main driver of the Mongolian economy. According to The National Statistics Office of Mongolia, small and medium businesses create 52.5% of all jobs in Mongolia. To ensure more qualified entrepreneurs join the labor market, educators and instructors can help with resources for their students that will enable them to create successful businesses. Entrepreneurship education can play an essential role in providing a qualified and skilled supply of entrepreneurs for the Mongolian economy. This paper will examine how project-based learning impacts engineering students' entrepreneurial mindset at Mongolia's university. The study will try to create awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship education and a project-based learning (PBL) approach for students with any engineering background. As a case study, this research will take "NUM Startup 2.0", a five-month program in that students can team up with their professors to build a startup company from the beginning. A qualitative research methodology will be used to conduct interviews with participants of NUM Startup 2.0. This research will use homogenous sampling to select students with similar backgrounds, and for a semi-structured in-depth interview, collected data will be analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Moreover, this research may provide valuable feedback to universities in Mongolia to develop more well-structured courses for students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
