The general framework is available and can be freely used. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Their framework poster can be downloaded from their website:

<li>Curiosity  -  QUESTION WITH BOLDNESS. EXPLORE CONTRARIAN PERSPECTIVES.</li>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These three c’s are incorporated into the mindset and should be considered when designing course content for young engineers.

Those interested should certainly aim to get in contact with the organisation and sort out the steps necessary. Contact information can be found below. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You don’t need to be a full member of the KEEN network to start implementing the framework and mindset on campus. The framework and mindset can be integrated into current courses without having to be a member. If you find certain techniques or resources that other universities have used, do contact them as they are often very willing to share and actively get new universities involved.

This model of partnership and collaboration looks different across the country, allowing universities flexibility to define how they live into the mission.

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.
