Are you interested in helping students apply entrepreneurial mindset to create value on campus and beyond? Then the 2020 KEEN National Conference is for you. Our theme this year is EMphasizing Value.

Hear keynotes from Krunali Patel, Vice President at Texas Instruments; Charles Fishman, author of One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission that Flew Us To the Moon ; Doug Melton, Kern Family Foundation; Ted Bott, Princiapl at Metelen Marketing; and Andrew Maynard, Director of Risk Innovation Lab at Arizaon State University on EMphasizing value.

Engineers change the world for good when they have a mindset emphasizing value for others. In KEEN, faculty identify this mindset as the entrepreneurial mindset (EM). Engineers with EM:

Know there is more to learn

- Ask great questions
- Seek out new information
- Talk to people who will be most impacted
- Test out concepts to get feedback
- Understand the importance of both what and why
- Practice critical evaluation of their own ideas
- Consider future implications

This mindset is key to personal and professional success. As faculty, we equip engineering students with a technical skillset – a powerful toolbox – to take into a rapidly changing world. But a mindset that aims that toolbox at creating value for self and for others will have impact. This is why the 2020 conference theme is EMphasizing Value – to showcase the elements and dimensions of value.

Join 500 colleagues in exploring the impact that EMphasizing Value can have on your work and the future of your students. You’ll enjoy inspiring keynote presenters and KEEN Talks, as well as to collaborate with peers across 30+ hands-on sessions and panels that will immediately impact your work on campus. Show More
