Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Engineering Students


Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership
·         We help students, faculty, staff, and recent alumni embrace the entrepreneurial mindset.
·         Our programs, events, and competitions are open to all UCF students from all disciplines and degree programs.
·         We also offer FREE one-on-one coaching in the Blackstone LaunchPad (located on the first floor of the Student Union); our coaches have experience from a variety of industries and serve clients at every step of the entrepreneurial journey.

You might be wondering why students in the College of Engineering would be interested in entrepreneurship. Engineering students have a natural knack for innovation; they might know how to create something, but need some guidance on commercialization. We can help students learn and practice the entrepreneurial mindsets and skillsets that are sought after by leading engineering employers like Siemens and Harris.

Upcoming Events and Competitions
·         We’ll be kicking off the semester with a series of events during the second week of classes (1/14-1/18) – all of the events are featured on our website.
·         Additionally, the JOUST New Venture Competition will be taking place this spring, with up to $75,000 awarded in seed funding and in-kind services.
·         More information, including eligibility and important dates, is all available online.


Remember – with the exception of competitions, our resources are available to you as well! If there’s any way the CEL could be of service to your students or for your own entrepreneurial pursuits, don’t hesitate to reach out.
