schools’faculty and programs. Through KEEN support, engineering schools have had the opportunity tomake investments in faculty, staff and students to transform engineering education with theultimate goal of empowering the engineers of the future to create jobs and make the world abetter place.2-6 This goal is captured in the mission of KEEN which is, “to graduate engineerswith an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal valuethrough a lifetime of meaningful work.”4KEEN champions novel pedagogy in engineering such as Active Collaborative Learning (ACL),Project/Problem based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). ACL andPBL are not new to engineering education, but EML is.2, 3, 7-10 EML is a student
