Research Sponsorship

The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) has a large and growing collaboration with industry for partnership and sponsorship of research with the goal of developing technology that can be commercialized. The Office of Industry Relations knows the process for developing these collaborations has become more competitive, with industry focusing its limited resources on a smaller number of strategic university partnerships, and only after increasingly careful vetting.

We fully support this, and through a broad range of responsive programs for industry partners, TEES pursues its mandate of best in value and its goal of best in class. The links below will demonstrate some of the services and support capabilities we believe will be of interest to industry. However, we encourage you to contact the Office of Strategic Business Development directly at any point, for connections regarding research ideas to significant joint ventures.

Expertise Search

The breadth and depth of research within Texas A&M Engineering is admittedly large, and searching for expertise is somewhat challenging. For a general search, choose an online search engine and type “TAMU” plus the topic. If you know the researcher or department, you may search the department website to search for publications on a topic.

TEES Research Centers

TEES has several engineering centers of potential interest to industry, grouped under six thematic areas, and offering services as varied as research, testing and professional development courses.

• Energy
• Health Care
• Manufacturing
• Defense
• Infrastructure
• All Centers

World-Class Facilities

In addition to the TEES research centers, there is a wide variety of labs and other facilities, many of which provide services to industry as part of their operational model.
