specifically, KEEN provides financial and developmental resources to granteeinstitutions for the development of entrepreneurship curricula, modules, and extracurricularactivities like business plan/innovation competitions, speaker series, student entrepreneurshipclubs, and seminars. Over the years, faculty at KEEN institutions have created over one hundredACL and PBL course modules with emphasis on various entrepreneurial aspects.Because of the broadness of entrepreneurship styles, it is difficult to create a definitive list ofskills, attributes, traits, and behaviors associated with the entrepreneurial mindset. However,KEEN has developed a “working” or “living” framework of the entrepreneurial mindset which isbest conveyed through the KEEN Student

Methods include ensuringparticipant anonymity, avoiding bias simply through collecting data, and balancing efficiencywith accuracy. However, as will become apparent in the remainder of the paper, decisions aboutdemographic data collection are highly situated and rarely have a single answer.At the core of efforts to collect demographic data is a single, but vital, point: The planning andidentification of demographic data collection must occur prior to data

Of course the RSS fluctuation can occur in this case as well, but the distance between the smartphones carried by the same student is very short. Hence the RSS values tend to be stable and high. Fig. 14 depicts the RSS values between two smartphones located less than 1m distance. The RSS values are quite higher than those of the previous measurements, and thus the attendance cheating can be detected. We plan to substantiate this idea as future work. Figure 15.
