State's Colleges of Engineering and Business are delivering a
two-semester sequence course entitled Market-Pull Technology Commercialization.
The course was developed in conjunction with the Penn State Technology
Transfer Office to address the lower-than-desired return on investment
for university research leading to commercialized products/services.
The courses are taught in a problem-based learning format, with
engineering and business faculty leading the class as mentors.
This session reviews details of course format, results from the
fall 2003 semester's commercialization process of two neonatal
inventions, progress in the spring 2004 course, and assessment
of student growth in entrepreneurial and technology transfer skills.
