This study was motivated by the persistently low interest among some students in the Mechanical Engineering Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang in pursuing a career as a teacher. The study aimed to describe the level of interest in becoming a teacher and to determine the partial influence of internal and external factors on that interest. A quantitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. The sample consisted of 43 students from the Mechanical Engineering Education Study Program (Class of 2022), selected using purposive sampling. Data collection utilized a Likert-scale questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. Data analysis techniques included descriptive analysis, prerequisite tests (normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests), simple regression analysis, correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, and the t-test. The results indicate that: (1) student interest in pursuing a teaching career tends to fall within the low-to-moderate range. (2) Internal factors have a positive relationship but do not exert a significant influence on the interest in becoming a teacher among the Class of 2022 Mechanical Engineering Education students at Universitas Negeri Padang, contributing an influence of 8.2%. (3) External factors have a positive relationship but do not exert a significant influence on the interest in becoming a teacher among the Class of 2022 Mechanical Engineering Education students at Universitas Negeri Padang, contributing an influence of 10.4%.References
