Case Studies
of the Entrepreneurial Mindset
Integrate These Expert-Driven Case Studies Into Your Classes
What if your students could experience a new type of case study - connected to real-world opportunities with industry experts?
Real-world case studies help students understand how technical concepts coupled with curiosity, making connections, and creating value can lead to new products and businesses. Also, understanding how course concepts apply to real world engineering establishes the relevance of the material, enhancing students' motivation to learn.

The Case Study Project: Join Us!
This series of entrepreneurial mindset case studies were developed by Dr. Ken Bloemer (University of Dayton), Dr. Sid Gunasekaran (University of Dayton), Dr. Jonathan Weaver (University of Detroit Mercy), and various other faculty from KEEN partner universities.
Purpose
These case studies are intended to illustrate ways that entrepreneurially minded engineers (EMEs) have capitalized on their knowledge of specific engineering topics covered in typical undergraduate courses.
As they are mostly told directly from the entrepreneurially minded engineer’s (EME’s) and/or inventor-innovator’s perspectives, they reveal passion and persistence, setbacks and spectacular value-adding successes. They are stories that help all involved develop an entrepreneurial mindset and the opportunity to impact skillsets.
The literature is clear: Case studies help students develop critical thinking skills.
Vision
- To directly support our shared mission of graduating engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work.
- To help make EML simply a part of mainstream engineering education by including teaching with case studies.
Get Involved
- Adopt an entrepreneurially minded (EM) case study. Each case study card on Engineering Unleashed contains a Discussion box. Use it to give feedback to the author(s) and ask questions. View the collection.
