University of Arkansas
The University of Arkansas believes that technology
transfer advances its economic development, research, and education missions.
The University has a growing reputation as a nationally competitive research
institution, partnering with the National Science Foundation and other funding
agencies.
The College of Engineering is host to one of America’s
top-rated business incubators, GENESIS Technology Business Incubator, the new
Mack-Blackwell Center for Rural Transportation Studies, and other business
assistance centers whose simple, shared mission is to support the private
business sector. In addition to helping businesses with start-up and business
management challenges, other benefits accrue, not only to the client companies,
but the people of Arkansas. These centers promote the creation of jobs, provide
real-world experiences for engineering students, and advance the development of
high-technology and clean industries that preserve our quality of life.
The Microelectronics-Photonics program at the University
of Arkansas, Fayetteville, is an interdisciplinary graduate program designed to
expand a student's knowledge beyond the boundaries of traditional departmental
based graduate programs. Students in the Microelectronics-Photonics program will
participate in cross-departmental research, will take applications-intensive
classes from multiple engineering and science departments, and will develop
workplace productivity skills in a simulated industrial environment.
Arkansas's Role in N2TEC
Arkansas will host an Innovation Forum to provide access
to capital to under-represented innovation teams. Will also serve as an N2TEC
test site and provide content to the N2TEC web site.
