Attrition rates in engineering and other STEM disciplines as a whole hover around 50%nationally. Numerous initiatives have tried to improve those numbers while better preparingSTEM graduates for the workforce. One initiative in particular is the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN), which strives to complement the technical skills of engineeringstudents with an Entrepreneurial Mindset to create more well-rounded engineering students.Saint Louis University (SLU) is a member of KEEN and has spent several years implementingthe Entrepreneurial Mindset across its Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology,specifically in its engineering programs.

Industry is asking for engineers with better communication andteamwork skills, and most importantly, a broader understanding of how to solve real worldproblems and create value in the marketplace. While some engineering schools are beginning tointegrate entrepreneurship and business concepts into the curriculum, many ABET-accreditedschools are slow to react to the needs of industry and the marketplace.Recognizing that this problem is threatening the quality of U.S. engineering talent, the KernFamily Foundation established the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) with themission to create an action-oriented, entrepreneurial mindset among engineering, science andtechnical undergraduates.
