| We
select and evaluate CDADIC research projects through the following
process. |
|
|
CDADIC
surveys industry needs and faculty researchers' interests. IAB and
faculty work together at the winter meeting to identify research topics
sponsor companies would like pre-proposals to address. |
|
|
Faculty researchers
prepare pre-proposals for screening by Industrial Advisory Board (IAB)
representatives and/or technical personnel. |
|
|
Researchers prepare
an executive summary and full proposal for presentation to IAB members
at the annual summer meeting. |
|
|
IAB members vote
on projects among which to distribute their collective annual membership
fees. |
|
|
Researchers carry
out the selected research projects at member universities. |
|
|
Results are shared
with all member companies, who provide technical mentoring and interact
with researchers throughout the year. |
|
|
Researchers present
progress reports at the annual winter meeting of the Industrial Advisory
Board. |
| |
|
| CDADIC's
administrative team regularly surveys member companies for evaluation
of the center's focus, identification of new problems, and proposed
changes in research directions to meet changing needs in the electronics
industry. |
