Thenetwork is limited to private institutions with ABET accredited engineering programs and is byinvitation only.The goal of KEEN is to make entrepreneurship education opportunities widely available atinstitutions of higher learning, and to instill an action-oriented entrepreneurial mindset inengineering, science, and technical undergraduates. The skills associated with theentrepreneurial mindset are communication, teamwork, leadership, ethics and ethical decision-making, opportunity recognition, persistence, creativity, innovation, tolerance for ambiguity, riskanalysis, creative problem solving, critical thinking, and business skills (including marketing,financial analysis, and strategic planning).1, 2, 3

Inside the classroom, studentsacquire the knowledge necessary to ultimately graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in their chosenmajor. All these experiences help transform the student from a dualistic to a relativistic point ofview. According to Dr. William Perry, author of Forms of Intellectual and Ethical Developmentin the College Years, there are nine positions of intellectual development that can be divided into Page 23.571.2two broad categories with position 5 as the pivotal point (see Appendix for Dr

Newell indicates that products of cross-disciplinary courses are: a greaterappreciation of and ability to integrate other’s points of view; an increased ability to evaluate thestatements of experts - particularly in the detection of bias; an increased acceptance ofambiguity; an increased understanding of values and ethics; and an increase in the ability to thinkcreatively.25 It should be noted that these

, with the hope that students will model the physics of the problem situation, identify economic and ethical constraints, and find ways to base decisions on quantitative analysis. These types of problems have helped students understand the nature of engineering problems and decisions. However, by themselves, they do not show students the process of transferring basic theory to engineering practice and incorporating it into the “making-of-meaning” required for addressing engineering design problems2, 3.In this paper, it is proposed to augment these problems by asking the students (and instructor) toengage in problem posing and problem structuring.
