GOALI: Integrating Industry Perspectives into University Research by Creating Teams of Academic-Industry Technology Specialists

这个赠款机会学术联络与行业（GOALI）提供资金，以创建四个不同的团队相结合的教师和研究生学者在马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学与科尔摩根技术专家，使后者到校园两个月，全职分配在大学和随后的兼职互动六个月的时间。 每个团队将专注于一种不同的技术，利用现有的联盟来推进创新概念，这些概念可以作为其他机构在工业和企业之间建立更紧密联系的典范。 所涉及的技术领域包括：（1）运动技术-部件和系统;（2）数字视频处理;（3）成像传感器;（4）人机接口;（5）真实的实时软件、嵌入式计算机和逻辑器件;以及（6）先进结构和材料。 行业/学术团队将使教师和学生从行业角度了解市场工程师所需的综合技能。 该大学将获得短期研究参与者谁已被科尔摩根指定为在项目期间进行的技术的内部专家。 实验室中的行业专家和综合项目支持的存在将作为教师和研究生团队的催化剂，以扩大他们的范围，同时考虑研究应用。 行业驻地和团队创建计划旨在帮助弥合实践与快速变化的技术领域的学术之间的差距。 这项研究包括一个评估部分，以审查在9个月和18个月的进展点上的里程碑。 将与其他研究和学术组织分享经验教训，以建立长期研究和支持模式。

This Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) provides funding to create four different teams combining faculty and graduate student scholars at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with Kollmorgen Technology Specialists by bringing the latter to the campus for a two month, full time assignment at the University and subsequent six month period of part-time interaction. Each team will focus on a different technology taking advantage of an existing alliance to advance innovative concepts that could serve as a model for other institutions in developing stronger ties between industry and academe. The technical areas to be undertaken will include: (1) Motion Technology-Components and Systems; (2) Digital Video Processing; (3) Imaging Sensors; (4) Human-Machine Interfaces; (5) Real Time Software, Embedded Computer and Logic Devices; and (6) Advanced Structures and Materials. Industry/Academic teams will expose faculty and students in the industry perspective and the integrative skills needed by engineers in the market. The University will gain short-term research participants who have been designated by Kollmorgen to be in-house experts in the technologies undertaken during the project. The presence of industry specialists in the laboratories and the integrative program support will act as a catalyst for faculty and graduate student teams to broaden their scope and consideration of research applications at the same time. The industry residency and team creation program is designed to help bridge the gap between practice and scholarship in rapidly changing fields of technology. The research includes an assessment component to examine the milestones of the effort at the nine-month and eighteen-month points of progress. The lessons learned will be shared with other research and academic organizations upon which to build long term research and support models.
