ASU KEEN
The ASU Kern Grant is engineering leadership, faculty and staff partnering with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network, or KEEN, to integrate the entrepreneurial mindset, or EM, in engineering education on a national scale.
The project aims to:
- Develop resources that support mentorship of engineering faculty in building a community of practice that values quality teaching, impactful research, and instilling a collaborative and entrepreneurial mindset.
- Impact ASU engineering students through curricular and co-curricular approaches by weaving the entrepreneurial mindset into the Fulton Schools culture, courses and student engagement activities.
Spanning six schools of engineering, plus Academic and Student Affairs, the project institutionalizes EM through:
- Facilitation of engineering faculty professional success utilizing EM-based mentorship
- Integration in introductory, sophomore-junior and capstone courses
- Faculty workshops providing mentorship of EM curricular integration and pedagogical approaches
- Direct to student content on the Earned Admissions MOOC-style environment
- Partnership with the National Academy of Engineering to facilitate growth in the Grand Challenges Scholars Program’s business/entrepreneurship competency
- Student programming/opportunities including research grants, mentorship through Entrepreneurial Catalysts and workshops: Robots That Matter, and Engineering Futures Tech + Entrepreneurial Mindset Bootcamps
