world had guided a process of iterativevisioning and re-envisioning, ultimately leading to a high-level strategic planning document.Through this earlier process, a vision, mission, core values, goals, and key strategies wereestablished. To begin the process described in this paper, “team co-captains” were selected tolead teams that would take each strategy and move it from a “big idea” to a set of actionableactivities. An example of a strategy from the plan is “Educate Renaissance Engineers for the21st Century World.” Actionable activities under this strategy include “(a) developing andimplementing the Purdue Engineer of 2020 curriculum, (b) defining the role of engineering inpre-university education,” and so on.

The intent of this research is not to compare which program is better; rather, it is toexplores the different ways of how entrepreneurship is taught in engineering schools.

In the survey, the students were asked to assess the effectiveness of each ofthe proposed modules based on 7 complementary skills extracted from KEEN pillars. Theseskills are as follows: a) Market study and investigation b) Opportunity identification c) Assessment and evaluation of solutions for technical feasibility, and societal and economic benefits d) Communicate engineering solutions in economic terms e) Collaboration and team building skills

The e-learning modules developed by Erdil, et. al (2016; 2017) aswell as the instrument development and subsequent research by Li and colleagues (Li, et al.,2016; Li, et al., 2018; Li, et al., 2019) also use the 3Cs framework as their guiding structure. Asindicated in the table in Appendix B, quite a few of the papers identified relied on the KEEN 3Csstructure as the framework guiding their work.One of the likely reasons for the commonality of the KEEN framework is the number ofuniversities and instructors who have partnered with the organization to develop instructionalchanges based on the entrepreneurial mindset.

dynamics projects. Finally, theimportance surveys suggest that students gained a better appreciation for the importance ofhaving an entrepreneurial mindset in a traditionally-technical course. This increase in perceivedimportance and ability in EML outcomes is the most encouraging. It indicates that theframework presented is an effective way of continuing EML through the more technicalcurriculum typically seen during the sophomore and junior years. It is also significant that thesepositive EML outcomes did not come at the expense of technical outcomes. The students’increased confidence in modeling and simulating electromechanical systems, and the fact that 23of the 29 respondents received a B or A on the project bear this out.It should be
