Overview
The Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) is a collaboration of U.S. universities that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering and technology students. Graduates of KEEN schools will be prepared to identify new technology-based business opportunities in their engineering disciplines. This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s status.
Purpose
" KEEN’s mission is to graduate engineers who will contribute to business success and in the process transform the American workforce."
The KEEN Program was established for three reasons:
- To support the development of entrepreneurial minded engineers who impact the U.S. economy.
- Because higher education should foster an engineering entrepreneurial mindset, more than delivering only technical skills.
- To enable individuals to pursue individual fulfillment and live a high impact life through entrepreneurial minded engineering.
