UNM School of EngineeringFrom Research to Invention to
Innovation
Ramiro Jordan

Innovation goes beyond Invention
“Innovations are the outcome of the innovation process, which can be defined as the combined activities leading to new, marketable products and services and/or new production and delivery systems.”*
* R.A. Burgelman, C.M. Christensen, and S.C. Wheelwright, Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation, (McGraw-Hill Irwin, New York, NY, 2009) p. 2.

The School of Engineering is a vital and engaged partner in strategic collaborations
• UNM Schools and Colleges, particularly A&S, HSC, and ASM
• STC.UNM• Sandia National Laboratories• Los Alamos National Laboratory• Air Force Research Laboratory• Idaho National Laboratory• Local and National Companies
12
National Partnerships in NSF Engineering Research Centers (ERCs)• NSF ERCs are prestigious, large scale multi-
university programs (10 years; $4M/year)• There are currently 20 active ERCs• UNM is a partner in four ERCs
• Smart Lightning (LEDs: RPI, UNM, BU)• CBiRC (Bio-renewable Chemistry: Iowa State, Rice, UC-Irvine,
UNM, UVA, Univ of Wisconsin)• QESST (Solar Energy: ASU, CIT, MIT, UDel, UNM)• NASCENT (Nanomanufacturing: UT(Austin), UNM, UCB)
• Only UC Berkeley has more (6).• CalTech and MIT each have 3.
