This paper describes a work-in-progress intervention where theKEEN 3Cs of entrepreneurially minded learning (curiosity, connections, and creating value) were introduced into a‘Principles of MechE for ECE majors’ course. In this course electrical engineering students learn about the basicprinciples of mechanical engineering. In an effort to understand how students view the 3Cs, the students are asked toselect a specific project which could be a new or a previous project from a different course. Through their project thestudents will highlight the following• Curiosity- Engineering Curiosity: The technological need for the product or solution
