In 2007, Emerson Climate Technologies, and its parent company, Emerson, made a $1 million investment in the School of Engineering’s Product Innovation Laboratory to provide opportunities for engineering and business students to work on new product development, potentially spurring the creation of new businesses. Students participating in the program are exposed to the various facets of the engineering field, including technical product issues, intellectual property potential, market evaluation, and business plan development.
“Emerson’s support of our Innovation Center has helped it become ‘best in class,’ according to a national foundation,” said Tony Saliba, dean of the School of Engineering. “Not only has Emerson lent its financial support to helping the School of Engineering develop entrepreneurial engineers, it has provided support to our students by providing jobs and serving as advisers and mentors.”
