Technology, Education and Commercialization Program

Technology, Education and Commercialization Program (TEC)

The TEC Program involves teams of engineering and business students who learn to identify and commercialize new technologies. Materials engineering graduate students team with business students from the College of Management to learn about technology transfer and marketability. The team spends 12 months working through four phases of technology transfer – identifying marketable technologies, evaluating the potential products and markets, developing a business plan, and developing a commercialization strategy.
