Entrepreneurial Mindset Microcredential Badge

Having an entrepreneurial mindset is crucial for being more than just an innovator; it's about being a value creator who builds meaningful relationships with stakeholders and comprehends the overarching significance of your work. Embracing the core elements of Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM), along with its three foundational pillars—Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value—is not merely an academic endeavor. It's a transformative strategy that you will apply to real world issues. Key aspects of this course will help you to innovate and take the lead on important engineering projects.

As a participant you will:

  • Integrate the principles of Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value, as defined in KEEN's Engineering Mindset (EM), into a coherent understanding and practice.
  • Analyze engineering scenarios, applying the EM framework.
  • Create value-driven engineering solutions using EM.
  • Engage in effective collaboration and reflection, demonstrating the application of the KEEN principles in community learning.
