= <span class="s1">Institutional Entrepreneurship</span> =
<span class="s1">Beyond classes that focus on design and innovation, the school has one leading program for entrepreneurship which takes place over the summer. This program, called Invention Factory, pays students to work in teams to create a patentable, novel, and innovative invention. This program started in the summer of 2013 and has since been appended by a program called Entrepreneur Factory which aims to bring these inventions to market. Entrepreneur Factory will be running for the first time in the summer of 2014.</span>
= Interacting With Businesses and the Community =
Cooper Union is unique in that it is so small that many student projects that are ready to move beyond the classroom are further developed in a case by case basis. Students typically ask faculty members with whom they are close with to help out with any technical needs and the students maintain full rights over everything they develop while at the school. Many notable projects that developed into something greater have come from classes like "Engineering Design and Problem Solving", which is taken by all freshmen. A few examples of this are the Gaia Project, RAMESSES and SociaLite, all projects of Professor Toby Cumberbatch that benefit the local community and those in need.
