“The 3 C’s” - curiosity, connections, and creating value. Specificexample behaviors of curiosity, connections, and creating value as described by KEEN may beseen in Figure 12. The campus wide effort at LTU to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in our graduates isfocused on three areas. These are faculty engagement, curriculum development, and studentengagement. With regard to curriculum development, we intentionally weave a continuousthread of entrepreneurially minded learning through our core engineering curriculum. In thefreshman year, we lay the foundation of entrepreneurial mindset development in our EGE 1001Introduction to Engineering Design Projects. EGE 1001 is an active and engaging course thatdemonstrates the many aspects of
entrepreneurially-minded engineers. The four corners making up this pyramid are Societal Values, Business Acumen, Technical Fundamentals, and Customer Awareness. The KEEN organization seeks to spread the entrepreneurial

We have seen that faculty participation goesthrough several phases: They need to know why change is required, They need to know what change is required, They need to know how change is made, They need to know when the change is required.Thus, faculty development is critical. Over the course of each year, KEEN meetings areessential to facilitate this process. They are: The January annual KEEN conference, The October annual principal and co-principal investigators‟ meeting, The Shaping the Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer Workshops held two or

universities [1][2], butalso helps students embody design thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset [3].Regardless of the discipline applied, a common thread to engineering for healthcare (and othercomplex problems) is the application of design thinking. A core value of design thinking is thehuman-centered approach to solutions that can be effectively implemented [4]. In the trainingprocess, students are asked to determine the customer’s needs and to evaluate whether theproposed design is truly a solution to the problem. Importantly, coming up with an effectivedesign relies on a few habits of mind that are found in many innovators. The KEEN organizationcomprises these habits as the three C’s – curiosity, connections, creating value [5]. In
of formal engineering entrepreneurship programs is likely to increase inthe near future. To meet the demand of developing entrepreneurially minded engineers,engineering institutions “will need to keep pace by offering opportunities to acquireentrepreneurial knowledge and experience” (Besterfield-Sacre et al., 2012). Considering theemergent state of engineering entrepreneurship education, the assessment of entrepreneurshipprograms is important and necessary to identify best practices for teaching entrepreneurship toengineering students.Although investigation of the impacts of engineering entrepreneurship is a relatively new field ofstudy, investigation of a range of student outcomes has already begun to emerge.

These types of engineering entrepreneurial skillshave been shown to be teachable, yet assessment and evaluation of engineeringentrepreneurial learning is an underdeveloped field of research [6]. In a literature review byZappe [1], the definition of the term “entrepreneurial mindset” varied substantially.

forum for creative expression.Though many believe academic makerspaces have the potential to transform the educationalexperience [10], it can be difficult to implement class projects that involve fabrication, especiallyin core classes that have over 50 students and no lab sessions. Traditional faculty who do notteach engineering design may hesitate to ask students to fabricate a physical product because oftheir own lack of familiarity with makerspaces. Furthermore, even those motivated by the idea ofentrepreneurially minded learning may see a large lecture-based class as inhospitable to anyhands-on project. Furthermore, though academic makerspaces are freely available to students forextracurricular projects, not all students take advantage of
