Paper ID #12824Identifying Roles in University-Industry Research PartnershipsLynette F. Wilcox, Virginia Tech Lynette Wilcox is a doctoral candidate in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. She has been investigating various aspects of academic and industrial partnering while completing her dissertation research on trust in university-industry research partnerships. Lynette has held administrative and research assistantships with the NSF Center for e-Design to support her research work in this area. Additionally, Lynette also holds a Master’s degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a Bachelor’s
based on the industryperspective, which means that the cooperation initiative comes from the industrial partner,which then has to compete for a better standing at the university. The framework also takesinto account the university goals and strategy as well as administrative restrictions; howeverin this paper we have not reviewed these aspects at a fine granular level.The paper is structured as follows: in the second part of the paper, we present the literaturereview on university-industry cooperation, applicable success factors and potential problems.We continue with the research design section where we describe the case study setup. In thefourth section, we present the key findings of the case study and develop the educationaluniversity

strategic initiatives of industrial leaders.In spite of the attention the topic was receiving in industry, little mind space or targeted researchwithin the academy was being focused on the looming issue. In 2011, with urging and supportfrom an Engineering Education Industrial Advisory Council (IAC), a first of its kind course waslaunched entitled “Harnessing Engineering Expertise in Industry”. The graduate course, co-developed and instructed by university faculty and members of the IAC, explored the topic ofengineering expertise from an industrial perspective. The objective of this course was to makeexplicit the concept of expertise in industry, to replicate and/or develop research basedapproaches for identifying and capturing this expertise, and

In this paper, the faculty industry liaisonand two industry leaders will provide an overview of these activities and their impact on ourprogram. We focus our discussion on the aforementioned successful model with two companies,Cummins Inc. and Danfoss Turbocor Compressor Inc., which have different types of affiliationwith our program. Cummins is a Fortune 200 global company with no geographical or strategicconnection to our school initially. Over time, a long-lasting relationship has developed.Turbocor is a manufacturing company located locally while active globally with state
multiple initiatives found that some of their requestswould seemingly end up in a black hole. This may have happened for a variety of reasons. Thecorporate partner may have reached out to someone who was simply unaware of the servicesoffered by another department. They may have also been transferred to so many differentindividuals on a quest to find the right contact that they lost momentum and decided to stoppursuing the idea. In other cases, they may have been a victim of timing, where faculty werefocused on teaching and/or research and unable to respond to their requests in a timely manner.Whatever the reason, there was no central point of contact managing the relationship that was beable to navigate the internal organization in order to
