Relationship between KEEN Outcomes and the Proposed ABET Criterion 3 and Civil Engineering Program Specific Criteria Entrepreneurial Mindset Curiosity - demonstrate constant curiosity about our changing world - explore a contrarian view of accepted solutions Connections - integrate information from many sources to gain insight - assess and manage risk Creating value - identify unexpected opportunities to create extraordinary value
Engineering Education, 2020 An EML Project on Steel Beam DesignAbstractStudents get to know how to apply the AISC requirements for the design of steel beams in thefirst steel design course. This is usually done through straight forward and predefined problemsand parameters, which is not always the case in the real world. The current paper describes atwo-week-long project on the addition of a balcony to the new engineering building at OhioNorthern University. The purpose of the project is to help students get more familiar with thetypical loading and framing plans of steel structures, the design process, and improve theirentrepreneurial mindset by applying Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN)learning objectives on
, and provides faculty development workshops on effective teaching. In 2006, the Kern Family Foundation named Dr. Carpenter a Kern Fellow for Entrepreneurial Education recognizing his efforts to bring innovative team based problem solving into the engineering curriculum to promote the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition to his work on ethics and entrepreneurial skills, Dr. Carpenter is an accredited green design professional (LEED AP) and practicing professional engineer. As founding Director of the Great Lakes Stormwater Management Institute, he conducts research on water management and routinely provides professional lectures/short courses on innovative stormwater treatment design and its role in Low Impact

His research, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, aims to develop a treatment for the millions of Americans suffering from myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases. In May of 2012, he co-founded a company based on some of the pioneering technology developed in his laboratory. Prof. Gaudette also teaches biomedical engineering design and innovation, biomechanics and physiology. He promotes the development of the entrepreneurial mindset in his students through support provided by the Kern Family Foundation. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017
