An Entrepreneurial Mindset

Presented by Micah Lande, PHD

Join us at Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (AE2S) for an event that will ignite your entrepreneurial spirit!

How can design thinking, hands-on making, and entrepreneurship transform engineering education? This talk dives into the emerging trend of incorporating the KEEN Entrepreneurial Mindset and NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) frameworks into student learning. Drawing on research and experiences at South Dakota Mines, Dr. Micah Lande highlights how these approaches encourage curiosity, creativity, and real-world problem-solving. We’ll explore the opportunities and challenges of integrating these methodologies, share student success stories, and discuss the balance between engaging fads and meaningful educational change. We’ll highlight practical applications of these frameworks in the workplace to enhance innovation, collaboration, and impact in professional engineering practice.
