Industry and business may engage the School of Engineering in sponsored research in one of two ways:
Short Term Research Projects
These projects do not involve the exchange or development of intellectual property and provide:
- Services involving analysis, evaluation, classification, diagnostics, or interpretation of a client's data, samples, mechanisms, procedures, or products
- Access to School resources, either personnel or equipment
Longer Term Research Projects
These projects have intellectual property and provide:
- Access to School resources during the development of fundamental basic research
- An assigned principal investigator (PI) for the project
- Protection to the University and to the sponsor on issues of publication, intellectual property, publicity, and the use of project results
If you are interested in conducting a project with the School of Engineering, contact: Jason Williams, associate teaching professor of engineering, at 814-898-6142 or [email protected].
