The main purpose of this research study is to examine the relationship between the attributes of Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) in terms of Entrepreneurial Education and Entrepreneurial Behavioral Intention. The study is designed to utilize the cross-sectional study, descriptive and explanatory research design on the sample population of Engineering students and graduates from University Technology Brunei (UTB). The number of sample population is initially 56 but it has to be manually removed because two of the respondents are not from Engineering faculty. Data collected from these respondents are by questionnaire survey distributed through the means of messaging platform such as "WhatsApp" and though social media, such as Instagram. The data collected are then put though SPSS software version 23, whereby the result produces descriptive statistics, analysis for correlation, as well as analysis for regression. From the result, it can be seen that all of the independent variables are positively correlated with the dependent variable. However, only Perceived Behavioral Control is significant enough to influence the Entrepreneurial Behavioral Intention of students and graduates of Engineering studies. To conclude, more study should be done in this field, especially in Brunei since the unemployment rate from 2014 to 2017 can be seen to rise.
