CPE is a club on campus that holds biweekly meetings featuring local and nonlocal entrepreneurial speakers and hosts workshops on staggered biweekly meetings. CPE is the pedagogical value of entrepreneurship as a set of skills that can be applied across professional environments main resource for reaching out and activities marketing innovation to supplement the students’ classroom experiencegeneral student body. Universities are investing both in formal programs as well as in extra-curricular activities to channel students’ interest in solving global problems In addition innovation has been prompted through advertising the concentration at open house for the college, through entrepreneurship. Examples of formal programs include degrees marketing for either events held by the center for innovation and certificates in entrepreneurship(CIE), while examples and through word-of extra-curricular activities include business plan contests, entrepreneurship clubs, mouth from the pretty cool events hosted by both CPE and startup internshipsCIE. Many universities are even experimenting with on-campus accelerators, What Cal poly lacks is an overarching theme that implores all majors to implement entrepreneurial dorms, and student venture funds. At the very least, these activities provide critical organizational skills to students, and at the very best, may create the next great university spinoffinnovative thinking whether they are going into A start up or not."''

''"Faculty Cop Poly is not a research facility and doctoral graduate students conduct the research powering many also does not put a lot of the innovations that spawn high-growth startups. However, even at our nation’s most entrepreneurial universities, many pressure on faculty for innovation and graduate students do not always consider the market and societal relevance of their researchentrepreneurship. To address this issueBut, universities faculty are putting in place a series of policy changes always welcome to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, which participate in turn will complement the student entrepreneurship. These changes include greater recognition any of faculty entrepreneurs, integrating entrepreneurship into the faculty tenure and selection processworkshops, and increasing faculty connections to outside partners - through externshipsForums, engagement with businessevents, and targeted And most other resources intended for startup creationstudents. Finally, universities are actively working with federal agencies to address some of And we have had faculty from the regulatory challenges around faculty entrepreneurship, mechanical engineering department for example pitch a product. This is another area in particular, those related which Cal poly has room (A lot of room) to conflict of interest and national security issuesgrow."''

''"University Technology Transfer Offices (There're not any TTO) and Technology Licensing Offices (or TLO) have traditionally been offices officially at Cal Poly but there is a technology park called C3RP which officially takes on these same functions in the hubs within universities where innovators and outside business leaders engage to commercialize inventionsname of the uniersity. The recent burst fuction of entrepreneurship on campuses has greatly expanded the role helping ideas tranfer to industry is also appearant in many of our competitions and the TTOs and TLOsgeneral environment that exists thus far. Instead Such examples of merely focusing on the commercialization this can be found in numerous successes out of individual technologies, these offices now act as a central point where students, faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry can connect with each otherinnovation quest including YC admitant "iCracked". These offices The goal of our programs are now focused on identifying and supporting entrepreneurship on campus, helping startups find the best opportunities and building successful business models, changing the culture application of their universitiesentrepreneurial skills, and creating companies that will be based in the communities around business discipline this usually alligns with the universitystudents goals as "become a successful Business". TTOs and TLOs have also expanded support beyond their traditional areas, As such as energy that is an outcome we hope to facilitate through providing resources like C3RP and life sciences, into education, social innovation, and agriculturea general focus on acheiving that goal."''

''"Businesses Cal Poly offers internships with successful alumni student startups, and industry benefit greatly from university research and innovationthrough the C3 RP Technology Park facilitates licensor licensee relationships. Universities Of course there are constantly looking A plethora of internship opportunities for ways to connect their research companies like Apple or Google, But as far as grassroots and students’ education to emerging industry interestsintrapreneur internships go these are the two main resources so far. In recent years, universities have put greater emphasis on supporting startup companies, while continuing to engage established companies The other focus that have traditionally been their licensing partners. To facilitate greater collaboration and innovation, universities we are opening currently trying to build out is a program called start up their facilities, faculty, and students to businesses (small and large) showcase which is in essence a career fair in which startups can find employees. This resource brings in the hopes three levels of creating greater economic value. Universities are strategically partnering start up: current student projects/Start ups with companiesno traction, offering internships and externshipscurrent students start ups with good traction, sharing facilities And recently graduated alumni start ups with moderate to great traction, we will also be hosting silicon Valley startups, such as accelerators, and creating venture funds and incentive programs funded by industry, all premium members of which drive increased innovation and product development by university students, faculty, and staffthe show case."''

''"Historically, There are no programs specifically for regional and local economic development has been an important mission of the nation’s large universitiesefforts at this time. Many of America’s leading universities, particularly land-grant universities, have always felt That is not to say that it is not a strong responsibility for the betterment priority of our ecosystem as well as our students and their surrounding communitiesstartups. These days, universities are increasingly focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to the growth and success of One local communities. Universities are requesting the federal government to include commercialization and innovation-driven economic development startup employs junvinile delinquents in their grant programs. In addition, regional economic development planning now often starts with an assessment of a local university’s research strengths. In turn, universities are seeking partners program to supplement build their strengths simple product and overcome their weaknesses through partnerships allow them an honest job with community colleges, non-profit economic development agencies, governments, and entrepreneurship groups. Some universities, such as Tulane University, are asking their students and faculty to contribute to local community development through service and projects. Others, such as North Carolina State University, are building innovation-driven campuses that help surrounding cities and communities prospermentoring from the two army enlisted founders."''
