<span lang="EN-US">Techno-entrepreneurship is critical to the growth of society as a useful technique for overcoming youth unemployment. However, the growth of techno-entrepreneurship has been limited with the end outcome being less than satisfying. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the possibility of choosing techno-entrepreneurship as a profession among engineering students in the Philippines. There were 200 engineering students selected by stratified random sampling and the significance of the factors was then determined using Pearson correlation analysis. Based on the findings, students’ likelihood of choosing techno-entrepreneurship as a career was not influenced by their equipment availability but by their e-commerce experience, geographical location, and internet ability. This implies the need for academic personnel and instructors teaching techno-entrepreneurship courses to guarantee students have relevant technopreneur knowledge, skills, and competencies that value students’ creativity and innovation to encourage techno-entrepreneurship as a profession.</span>

: In the Philippines, students exhibit a low interest in entrepreneurship despite numerous programs implemented and mandated by the government. The emergence of technopreneurship is now confronted by several issues, mainly in developing competent and versatile technopreneurs. Until now, there are inadequate studies related to technopreneurship specifically those dealing with technopreneurial intention among engineering students. This study aims to determine the factors associated with technopreneurial intention. Simple random sampling was used to collect necessary data from 200 undergraduate engineering students from selected universities in the Philippines. Multiple Regression Analysis and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used to test the hypotheses and examine the relationship between independent and dependent variable respectively. The findings revealed that among the five identified factors, only Comput er Abi l ity, Access to Capi tal , and Entrepreneurial Experience have a significant and p o s i t i v e e f f e c t o n i n t e n t i o n t ow a r d s technopreneurship Keywords : Computer Ability; Entrepreneurial Experience; Entrepreneurial Orientation; Internet Ability; Technopreneurial Intention

The teaching and learning process of financial accounting (FA) has become a challenge in an ever-changing global perspective, and an important discussion is replacing classroom teaching with career-based requirements. Problem-solving skills (PSS) help determine the source of problems and find appropriate solutions in teaching FA topics. This study aimed to identify the need for problem-solving skills for FA students for job readiness and identify the appropriate technology-savvy platform to improve problem-solving skills. Undergraduate students at the College of Banking and Financial Studies (CBFS) in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, were selected as the research domain for data collection and analysis. This study reports a part of a preliminary study conducted using a survey technique on FA students. The main finding was that they had placed problem-solving skills as one of the important job skills in the modern financial accounting era. Furthermore, the needs analysis reflected the importance of the quiz-based learning (QBL) method embedded in Microsoft Forms (MFS) as a technology-based platform for teaching and learning about FA. Therefore, this study collected findings from the needs analysis phase with the help of QBL-MFS to improve the problem-solving skills of FA students to prepare them with life skills to be applied in the world place.
