from industry and the remaining $14B from state and localgovernment, institutional and other sources.1 This funding provides an exceptional foundationfor new scientific discovery, as well as for the advancement of applied technologies.Unfortunately, a relatively small percentage of these new discoveries ever translate into long-term commercial successes. Several impediments, both institutional and market-driven, conspireto keep inventions from finding their way into, or better yet becoming the foundation of,commercial ventures. Examples of institutional impediments include: (a) lack of marketacceptance for university licensing practices, (b) conflict of interest concerns for faculty,particularly within public universities, (c) lack of

Importantly, the U.S. is the only nation among the G7 to register a TEA score in the topten.Today, nearly 50 percent of the growth in the U.S. economy can be attributed to entrepreneurialactivity; much of this activity is in the technology sector. Since success in a technology venturerequires both technical feasibility and economic viability an engineering curriculum thatintegrates both aspects is of considerable value.2 Of the over 200 thousand graduates of collegeengineering and science programs each year in the U.S., a growing proportion seek employmentin entrepreneurial ventures or are starting their own ventures. This trend among engineering andscience graduates requires “a new type of engineer, an entrepreneurial engineer, who needs abroad

The idea is a new economically-soundway to make fresh water, and he wanted FAU to make a feasibility study. There were severaldilemmas associated with this project: (a) my ongoing research was in the Robotics area, not inwater distillation, (b) the original idea was his, and this is very different from the way we havebeen doing research since we normally work on our ideas, and based on his past experience (c)he wanted complete ownership of the intellectual property

There is, unfortunately, a prevalent myth that combines and confusesthese two questions. Myth: “As long as I receive a patent on my product, no other company can stop me from making and selling my product.”The
