Well you are right that CMU as an organization hasnt done a good enough job in helping to spur on entrepreneurship in their students. There was a Entrepreneurship for Computer Science course during my time there that certainly helped introduce me to entrepreneurship in the context of tech startups, but things have changed so much since that time. Much is being done to improve the spread of entrepreneurship through various programs, so I am excited for the future of CMU startups.
That said, lots of startups have been coming out of CMU recently. Just off the top of my head with people I know, there is Homerun, Everlane, CardMunch (acquired by LinkedIn), LeanBop (currently in DreamIt/Startl), ShoeFitr, NumberFire, Artsicle, and others.
I'm helping organize a Startup Weekend in September there. Hopefully this will help a bit, but we also need to get startups to get visibility on campus through talks and job fairs.
I remember the entrepreneurship course, though I never took it when I was there. I know Barbara has been working hard to spread the mentality, as has Olympus (though I find Olympus to be a less than ideal method).
Also, you left GazeHawk off your list ;-)
Let me know if there's any way I can help with the Startup weekend...I've been pushing for something similar for a while to YC, 500startups, and CMU.
