There are has various fast track programs such as the 5 year, engineering and MBA program for all the engineering studentsto help prepare them for various fields. Stony Brook is dedicated to advancement and progress and has spent over $225.3 million in Research and Development. This research has created an entrepreneurial culture allowing for students to pursue programs that they normally didn’t have access to before. It has even led to the creation of an innovation space in partnership with the College of Business and Engineering allowing for students to collaborate and prototype products of their choosing. The Innovation Lab is also holding multiple workshops in collaboration with Matlab to learn how to utilize algorithms in the program as well as use them with Lego Mindstorms as well as holding introductory workshops to learn how to use the 3D Printer. Moreover, Stony Brook also encourages the sharing of these research and senior design projects through URECA that focus on students presenting the work and research they have completed within the last year and give opportunities to students to network with other individuals.</span></span></p><p dir ="ltr" styleFaculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ="line-height:1 As mentioned before, there have been various incubators set up at Stony Brook, especially it's accompanying campus, in the Research and Development Park.

There has been increasing interest in creating a startup space and panelists from Long Island startups have come in to discuss how they started and pursued their ideas. These efforts are still relatively small as the last attendance was limited to roughly 35 students, compared to the campus population which is about 25000 students (undergraduate and graduate). There are a lot of resources on campus available to students though there are not as many funding opportunities as desired. These would be probably be arranged through the local and regional companies and organizations; it will surely stimulate the development of the startup culture at Stony Brook University.</span></span></p><p style   ="text-align: center"></p><p style="textUniversity-align: center"><span styleIndustry Collaboration ="font-size:medium">'''''Landscape Canvas'''''</span></p>{{#widget:Google Spreadsheet |key=1rQ2EpXH6yHP-j-YTNUPZfQVgWamJ6w6lMpY2XUNEkH4 |width=100% |height=600}};<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size:medium">'''''Student Priorities'''''</span></p><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size:larger">There are many projects that need to be implemented at Stony Brook has been limited University -Industry Collaboration and most of it has come through students participating in order for programs externally outside of the academic programs.

Moreover, the fellow is looking to hold a Town Hall style meeting with CEAS leaders and its students once a semester so that students can identify what resources they want from CEAS to be available to them on campus.

It will be modeled after the 3-day startup and the Techcrunch Disrupt Challenge; the challenge will take place over the course of a weekend. Students will be required to submit an initial proposal of what they are seeking to build and design, understanding that they would have to achieve it in the course of 48 hours. Based on their proposals, about 10 ideas will be selected by the organizers and invited to participate in the challenge. Throughout the course of the weekend, teams will design and present their product to a panel of investors and company representatives on why their idea is worthy of investment. The panel will judge each team and give them ratings based on whether or not their idea is innovative and if their team has a strong business plan.
