Participation includes quarterly meetings to provide an opportunity to meet area Cougar business owners and improve camaraderie and business. Members include small business entrepreneurs that have successfully started their own business or franchise and want to stay connected to the greater entrepreneurial mind of WSUV</p><h2> Robotics Lab </h2><p>Through funding from the M.J. Murcock Charitable Trust<img _fck_mw_valid="false" _fck_mw_filename="File:///C:/Users/Andrew Laptop/Downloads/Student innovation and entrepreneurship.docx" alt="[30]" class="fck_mw_notfound" /> the robotics lab at WSUV is developing an interdisciplinary renewable energy option track<img _fck_mw_valid="false" _fck_mw_filename="File:///C:/Users/Andrew Laptop/Downloads/Student innovation and entrepreneurship.docx" alt="[31]" class="fck_mw_notfound" /> in the robotics program to bring together students from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science to study the future of renewable energy. </p><h2> Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Lab Projects </h2><p>The current projects of the advanced manufacturing lab include development of advanced drilling tools, funded by a variety of agencies including Boeing, NSF I/UCRC ACTT, US Army Research Lab, SME Education Foundation, Fatigue Technologies, Phygen Coatings, Christensen Shipyards and WSU Vancouver.</p><h1> Regional and local economic development efforts </h1><h2> Innovation Partnership Zone Vancouver </h2><p>In October of 2013 Washington State University Vancouver helped the city of Vancouver receive a designation as an Innovation Partnership Zone. “The state Department of Commerce named portions of Vancouver and Camas as an Innovation Partnership Zone, or IPZ. It's an important designation, in part, because it gives the region additional leverage in seeking grant dollars to help pay for projects aimed at growing digital technology industries.”<img _fck_mw_valid="false" _fck_mw_filename="File:///C:/Users/Andrew Laptop/Downloads/Student innovation and entrepreneurship.docx" alt="[32]" class="fck_mw_notfound" />  A possibility of this designation is the opportunity to develop incubator space for grad students to come work with new companies.  The IPZ’s overall goal is to establish a framework for collaboration between higher learning institutions and industry, particularly new companies. </p><h2> Fort Vancouver Mobile </h2><p>A collaboration between the CMDC program and the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site allowed for students and faculty to create a mobile storytelling project.<img _fck_mw_valid="false" _fck_mw_filename="File:///C:/Users/Andrew Laptop/Downloads/Student innovation and entrepreneurship.docx" alt="[33]" class="fck_mw_notfound" /></p><h1> Other </h1><p>The current entrepreneurial system offers students the opportunity to perceive the importance of entrepreneurship and realize the potential that it can have for them.  The opportunities to advance beyond into applied and realized entrepreneurship are minimal.  Senior seminars and capstone design classes give some design opportunity but prevent students from exposure to entrepreneurship till their senior year in higher education.  It is through new student driven organizations that changes will begin to be made.  Spring 2014 will see the first entrepreneurial collaborations between disciplines and the possibility of build and startup weekends. New student groups within the Nouspace gallery, under the direction of the CMDC program and the University Fellow will bring new show and gallery opportunities to STEM and art students with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.  The future goals of WSUV will have a heavy focus on entrepreneurship and the new designation by the Department of Commerce of Vancouver as an Innovation Partnership Zone will only help to bring this focus to the greater community. nbsp;  nbsp;</p><pdiv><br /></p><hr />----
