This office is the primary contact point for business, industry and
government to access technical capabilities in engineering. The staff
develops relationships between industry and college faculty, students,
research centers and consortia, creating new opportunities for
interaction and cooperative projects. Other responsibilities include
developing and maintaining a close relationship with state and federal
funding agencies for research and development programs and operating
the UW Technology Enterprise Cooperative (UW-TEC). This
office is co-sponsored by the University-Industry Relations (UIR)
Program, a campuswide industrial outreach program operated by
UW-Madison's Graduate School.
