This project will implement a comprehensive plan to enhance the role of technology in North Dakota's economy and its educational system. The plan will encourage and assist graduate students in starting up companies. Their new small businesses and existing ones will be tied into the university research community. They will be informed of the federal technology development programs such as the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and assisted in submitting applications. Strong and meaningful links will be forged between engineering and the natural sciences at both the research and pedagogical levels. Project objectives to be accomplished include: (1) increased submissions by North Dakota companies to federal SBIR and STTR programs; (2) implementation of a Master of Science in Technology degree that will equip students with a range of skills needed to be effective in a smaller company; (3) strengthening the research programs of existing faculty at North Dakota State University, and (4) development of an undergraduate short course to stimulate entrepreneurial activity. These activities are intended to provide the talent pool necessary to develop a high technology base in North Dakota and in turn provide local employment opportunities for in-state students educated at the North Dakota State University.

该项目将实施一项全面计划，以提高技术在北达科他州经济和教育系统中的作用。该计划将鼓励和帮助研究生创业。他们的新小企业和现有企业将与大学研究社区联系在一起。他们将被告知联邦技术发展计划，如小企业创新研究（SBIR）和小企业技术转让（STTR）计划，并协助提交申请。在研究和教学层面上，工程与自然科学之间将建立牢固而有意义的联系。要实现的项目目标包括：(1)增加北达科他州公司向联邦SBIR和STTR计划提交的文件；(2)实施科学技术硕士学位，使学生具备在小公司有效工作所需的一系列技能；(3)加强北达科他州立大学现有教师的研究项目；(4)开发本科短期课程，以刺激创业活动。这些活动旨在提供必要的人才库，以发展北达科他州的高科技基地，并反过来为在北达科他州立大学接受教育的州内学生提供当地就业机会。
