ISSUE ONE 23 INSIGHTS “ It’s an absolute given in every discipline that you want to encourage learners who are risk-takers, who will not necessarily listen to the status quo but see beyond it, and people who will constantly question. The ultimate entrepreneur in my mind is Socrates – he never stopped asking questions.” – Dr. Steven Kaplan, President, University of New Haven KEEN INSIGHTS “ The work that KEEN is doing with colleges and universities is on the cutting edge of innovation in engineering education. Through collaboration and technology, this effort is strengthening the teaching and learning process. The result is that increasing numbers of students are benefiting from best practices developed on a number of partnering campuses. Colleges and universities across the country can learn a great deal from this model.” Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President, University of Maryland, Baltimore County “ The entrepreneurial mindset is one of those competitive edges that is going to become a necessity for global competition. This is something that I hope, in the next decade or so, will become so prevalent that it becomes a requirement for engineering schools in the United States. That’s what’s going to separate us – the added value –from our European counterparts and our Asian counterparts. And the system of education we have in the United States is the perfect system for an entrepreneurial mindset.” – Dr. Joseph Saliba, Provost, University of Dayton
