Partnership Structure
Industrial commitment will be on a two year
$15,000/year basis payable to the Texas Tech
Research Foundation. All funds and interest will be
used for the Chemical Engineering Process Control
and Optimization Program as the faculty principals
deem necessary.
Paid partnering companies are expected to send a
technical representative to attend semi-annual
program review meetings at Texas Tech University.
Anticipated meeting dates are April and October.
The agenda will include a review of non-proprietary
projects, facility tour, personnel introductions,
and a discussion to guide program directions. The
faculty principals will supervise the work and
determine program direction to best match
expertise, opportunities and partner benefits.
Industrial partners will have a significant input
on program direction through participation at the
semi-annual meeting.
Paid partnering companies will receive a copy of
all publications, reports, computer code, and
presentations as available. Each will receive an
annual summary of research projects,
accomplishments, and financial statements.
Industrial support is intended to strengthen the
general control and optimization program; and
benefits to partnering companies include early
technology transfer, manpower supply, recruiting,
early awareness of new developments, and access
into university expertise. Inventions, techniques,
software, and etc. which are developed through this
academic program will be subject to the
intellectual property customs of the
university.
The program structure permits and can perform
proprietary sponsored work for consortium members.
Fees and rights would be negotiated on a per
project basis.
The program also offers many other forms of
mutually beneficial industry/ university
cooperation including personnel exchange,
collaborative course/ text development, seminar
speakers, and etc.
Consortium memberships can be initiated
semi-annually with checks payable by March 31 or
September 30th of each year. Industrial commitment
checks should be sent to
