Overview
Cleveland State University is a public doctoral research university located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. There is a specific and targeted initiative, coined CSU 2.0 by current president Harlan Sands, J.D., attempting to propel Cleveland State onto the world stage. Assuming an aspect of the current pedagogical zeitgeist seeks to deconstruct and improve the institution of education as a whole, this CSU 2.0 intitiative presents an incredibly promising opportunity to create large change on the university-wide scale.

Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function
The Technology Transfer Office at Cleveland State seems to be largely run by a single person, Jack Krazsewski, Esq. Based on a seminar he gave, at which a CSU Fellow was attending, he is ready and willing to help anyone through the legal process of creating a product. However, it is worth noting that the office has a research slant, so while it is well advertised to graduate students, many undergraduates might not even be aware that such an office exists.

In addition, the Bachelor's of Mechanical Engineering degree has a collaboration between university and industry built into the curriculum. Many of the senior design projects in the mechanical engineering are sponsored by industry partners, such as Parker Hannifin. Through this year-long senior design project, students will meet with their industry sponsors and work towards the design of something for the company. However, it is worth mentioning that these industry partnerships are a double-edged sword. From talking with mechanical engineering seniors, there are more senior design projects than there are teams, so inevitable some projects get dropped. The projects that get dropped tend to be ones led by students. While this makes sense from the perspective of a person trying to maintain university-industry relationships, it also stamps out student-led initiatives and projects.
