<span style="font-familysize:arial,helvetica,sans-serifmedium;"><span style="font-sizefamily:smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University of Dayton currently has a [https://www.udayton.edu/research/tpo/index.php Technology Partnerships Office (TPO)]&nbsp;which is part apart of the Office for Research. The main role of this office department is managing university intellectual property (IP) through filing patents and licensing technology that is produced through the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). The Also, the TPO also coordinates research agreements with industry and commercializing university inventions. While this office can provide limited advice to students who are pursing their own ventures, it mainly exists to support university owned IPinternet protocol.&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-familysize:arial,helvetica,sans-serifmedium;"><span style="font-sizefamily:smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The college of Engineering has a strong Multidisciplinary Design program for senior Electrical and Mechanical engineering students. While most projects are industry sponsored, the Innovation Center will work with students who are interested in sponsoring their own projects. This two-part course provides students with mentoring through every step of the design process from ideation to prototyping and testing.</span></span>

<span style="font-familysize:arial,helvetica,sans-serifmedium;"><span style="font-sizefamily:smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There are additional resources available to students pursing projects and ventures on their own time. The Connor Group Foundation Seed Investment Fund is a resource available through the school of Business that can provide seed funding to student ventures. Additionally, Flyer Consulting, which is another resource available through the school of Business, is a great resource to students seeking mentorship. A new resource&nbsp;available for students searching for startup funding is the Leonardo Enterprises. This resource adds support for technology based businesses for students and facuilty members.&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-familysize:arial,helvetica,sans-serifmedium;"><span style="font-sizefamily:smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">University of Dayton collaborates with a variety of companies, and what makes them unique is the location of major companies located on campus including GE and , Emerson Technologies, and Honda. &nbsp;These companies' location Each Company is involved on campus to serve as not only a physical representation of their connection to UD, but also as a method for students to get real world work experience much closer to campus. &nbsp;Similarly, companies not located on campus also collaborate with the University of Dayton by hiring students for internships and co-ops through our cooperative education program. &nbsp;In order to facilitate this process, UD hosts a large career fair twice a year, in which hundreds of companies attend with the intention of hiring interns, co-ops, as well as full-time employees. &nbsp;All of these companies have a great repor with the University and its students, which is why several companies return every year. All with more opportunities and alumni exploiting the company because all UD students and alums are welcome to attend the fairs.&nbsp; Also, companies that aren't able to attend these career fairs host workshops, meet-and-greets, and on-campus interviews throughout the year which all students are welcome to attendand go through for potential jobs. &nbsp;As So, as you can see, the University of Dayton prides itself on preparing its students for post-graduation, and its collaboration with industry is a major reason why that's possiblein today's world.&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Another major connection between the University and Industry is through the School of Engineering's Innovation Center. This center is tailored to Senior Design projects, where over 200 external industry clients have prompted real-world challenges for groups of students to "solve" over the course of a year. These solutions have reached client expectations 85% of the time because of the investment UD makes for legal, business, feasability counseling. Other innovation and design course have access to the Innovation Center. It provides spaces for collaboration space, workshop space, machine tools, testing equipment, and financial/legal/business resources.UD also provides organizations like Maker's Club and Leonardo Enterprises which help boost student innovation and hands on learning in the industry by providing tools suitable to the world around us. Maker's Club has tools and courses that are used in the process of making materials and working machines to help the engineer see through the design process. Leonardo Enterprises (just recently launched) helps students with interesting ideas to get funding and mentorship within the business launching process. Organizations like these only contribute more to the school and the future in society.</span></span>
