Contract Researchers

Providing research guidance at the graduate level, we accept incumbent researchers and technical specialists from industry.
Through this system, our institution takes on enterprise commissions. After our faculty performs the commissioned business-task related research, we report the results back to the enterprise that commissioned the research. The research costs are charged to the commissioning organization.
