We are a national partnership of universities with the shared mission to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. We are a network of thousands of engineering faculty, working to equip engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset to transform the world. Whether you attend a conference, visit a partner institution, or join our online community, you will find innovative thought leaders willing to share tools and collaborate to help you transform your teaching and your institution. You will find KEEN faculty presenting and delivering keynotes at engineering conferences across the United States, developing and retooling curriculum, writing papers and publishing in journals, researching new methods to track and assess mindset change in students, and participating in numerous faculty development opportunities in order to be better equipped to be agents of change. At the heart of all this work is a dedication to make entrepreneurial minded learning commonplace in engineering education so that one day “entrepreneurial engineering” is simply referred to as engineering.

This article presents a 3C's tool that can analyze images of concept maps (e.g. sticky notes, pencil drawings, white boards) and produce 3C's discussion prompts. It complements the on-going scholarship that connect concept maps to the development of elements within an engineering student's entrepreneurial mindset.
