As engineeringhas adapted to a more global and interconnected economy, the issues that face today’s engineershave become more complex. In a highly networked world notions of the impact of an engineer’sactions on others, the basis for moral and ethical behavior, also become more complex. Thedefinition of complex used here captures higher-order and emergent behaviors, situations thatcan change rapidly, limitations to predictability, and behavior arising from interactions ratherthan innate to components.

The Market-Pull Technology Commercialization courseshould put teams of students on very early stage inventions, where they can look at the marketopportunities earlier in the invention’s development. The teams can then provide feedback to thefaculty and the TTO long before the created IP has no value in the commercial market place.The premise is that by providing potential customer/licensee input at this stage, there is a muchgreater chance that the IP created would have a higher value, and would be much easier totransact. In summary, a mechanism to put market- pull into our technology commercializationmodel is vital. The use of student resource for this provides a wonderful educational
