I did a research on the contribution of entrepreneurship education to developing the entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions among university students in Uganda. I would like to continue with the scientific measurement that uses some models.
I have not looked at this issue for awhile, but the following citations may be helpful:

Also, take a look at an article by Gurboz & Aykol in the Journal of Global Strategic Management, Vol. 4, 2008.
Good luck...
PS; I was interested in a similar question during my work with my friends at Makerere... say hello for me.

Hi, you may want to start with the classics - Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behaviour and Shapero's Model of Entrepreneurial Event. Nicely discussed in Krueger et al (2000) "Competing Models of Entrepreneurial Intentions. All the best.
Theory of Planned Behavior (Schifter and Ajzen, 1985) is a general model that seeks to explain the behavior of individuals on the basis of the beliefs-attitude-intention-behavior relationship.
Hi. You can describe your problem with any other approach. you can use Multi Attributes Decision Making. first you must design Decision Tree(DT). DT consist of 1.Objective, 2.Attributes and 3. Alternatives. based mentioned models (MADM models), you can evaluate "entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions" as alternatives based on the specific attributes.

well, TPB and EEM models cited by Inna are surely perfect.
Let me suggest you to give a look at the GUESSS project, that is very interesting (http://www.guesssurvey.org/) and a couple of top publications that came out of it:
Zellweger, T., Sieger, P., & Halter, F. (2011). Should I stay or should I go? Career choice intentions of students with family business background. Journal of Business Venturing, 26(5), 521-536.
Laspita, S., Breugst, N., Heblich, S., & Patzelt, H. (2012). Intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurial intentions. Journal of Business Venturing, 27(4), 414-435.
Finally, given your research interest, you might want not to miss this recent publication from ETP:
Bae, T. J., Qian, S., Miao, C., & Fiet, J. O. (2014). The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intentions: A Meta‐Analytic Review. Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 38(2), 217-254.
hope it helps
good luck
noted above, I would suggest you look up the works of Fransisco Linan.
In addition, you should find the following useful:
Fayolle, A., and Gailly, B. (2013). "The Impact of Entrepreneurship Education on Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Intention: Hysteresis and Persistence," Journal of Small Business Management, doi: 10.1111/jsbm.12065.
The most recent issue of the Intl. Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (Vol. 18 Issue 2/3) has various pieces on entrepreneurial intentions of students: http://www.inderscience.com/info/inarticletoc.php?jcode=ijeim&year=2014&vol=18&issue=2/3
Perhaps of particular interest might be the first article - Entrepreneurial intentions of university students: an international comparison between African, European and Canadian students.
And then I can only support what others have already said - TPB, etc. and the work of Linan.
We also used the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) developed by F.Linan. It worked very well in terms of reliability and validity of the measures. good luck!
From the point of view of marketing communication, Awareness, Interest, Desire and Action (AIDA), DAGMAR, MODELS may be refered for intention to buyer behaviour
you can prepare a questionnaire and take the response from them you can take the help of Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) developed by F.Linan
so that the replies from the questionnaires were tested using any statistical tool and get the result.
I would suggest you also look at the Individual entrepreneurial intention scale (IEIS) scale proposed by Thompson (2009). He suggests that the latent construct of "Entrepreneurial Intent" best measured using a continuous formative scale. Here's a link to the 2009 article "Individual Entrepreneurial Intent: Construct Clarification and Development of an Internationally Reliable Metric" http://www.dge.ubi.pt/msilva/Papers_MECE/Paper_12.pdf
