Introducing the UGC Networking Resource Centre for Materials (NRC-M)T.A. Abinandanan
NRC-M, the Networking Resource Centre for Materials, is a UGC funded initiative hosted at the Department of Materials, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. This talk is a quick introduction to NRC-M, its mandate, its programs, and how materials researchers in Indian universities may benefit from its programs.
Powerful forces, including demographics, globalization, and rapidly evolving technologies are driving profound changes in engineering professionals in our society. The changing workforce and technology needs of a global knowledge-driven economy are dramatically changing the nature of engineering practices and education, demanding far broader skills than simply the mastery of scientific and technological disciplines. Over the last decades, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and regional state colleges have joined forces with many major research universities to embrace innovation and entrepreneurship as critical to their mission and role in their communities. The leaderships at HBCUs recognize the importance of innovation, commercialization, entrepreneurship, and the creation of economic value for their communities, especially for these institutions with land-grant missions.
University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) is a land-grant institution with 270 years rich history and legacy. Today, UMES has been reclassified as a Carnegie Doctoral Research (Moderate) University by the Carnegie Foundation and is on its request to become a pioneering HBCU in promoting innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship for academic eminence. The Engineering, Business, and Technology programs at the School of Business and Technology at UMES play critical roles in advancing this new mission. To achieve this, we at the School of Business and Technology have developed roadmaps and strategies in four perspectives: We promote student innovation and entrepreneurship; we encourage faculty innovation and entrepreneurship; we actively foster collaboration in university and industry, and we engage with regional and local economic development efforts. In this seminar talk, I will elaborate on the efforts and initiatives we have developed with the goal of translating creativity on campus into business opportunity.
Stephen MacNeil is a researcher specializing in design cognition, collaboration, and education. To address these problems I adopt an human-centered HCI perspective and leverage machine learning and visualizations to explore problems in these domains.
