Title

Technology: Education and Commercialization (TEC) Program

Description

Through North Carolina State University's Technology: Education and Commercialization (TEC) Program, graduate and postgraduate students from business, engineering, science, and other non-technical fields form interdisciplinary teams to screen, assess, and develop technologies and products for commercial applications. Advised by experienced faculty members and business professionals, the student teams follow a year-long systematic approach to formulate product concepts; to consider technical, legal, financial, marketing, organizational, and manufacturing issues; and to develop commercialization strategies. TEC's educational focus transcends traditional business and technical instruction. In the program's high tech environment, business graduates enhance their product development and technology management skills. Science and engineering students master essential business tools and entrepreneurial concepts. Other non-technical graduates gain experience in today's technology-based business culture.
