Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial mindset, and entrepreneurial mentality are among the most discussed topics at the professional and academic levels. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role of intervention to build the entrepreneurial mentality of the university students. The COPSS method intervention concentrated on four characteristics: Opportunity Identiï¬cation Capabilities OIC, Entrepreneurial Creativity (ECR), Risk Management Capability (RMC), and Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation (IEO). Data from the treatment group (35 students), and two control groups (total 74 students) were collected by giving out a pre-test, and the post-test data were collected one month following the intervention. The author employed two control groups from the same course, at the Emirate University to apply the COPSS model. The findings of this research show that the intervention will improve the participants' opportunity identiï¬cation capabilities (OIC), and it accounts for 60% of the variation of the post-test. The intervention will improve the participants' entrepreneurial creativity (ECR) and it accounts for 30% of the variation of the post-test. The intervention will enhance the participants' self-eï¬cacy regarding risk management capability (RMC) and it accounts for 40% of the variation of the post-test. The intervention will have a positive impact on the participants' individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) self-eï¬cacy and the intervention accounts for 66% of the variation of the post-tes. Gender does not have a significant effect, it has a very small positive effect on RMC variable and a very small negative effect on (OIC, ECR, and IEO) variables.
