Working with the CCSM

Forms of Industry Collaboration

CCSM faculty have a long and impressive record of interacting with industry. In the last dozen years, the CCSM has collaborated with and transferred technology to more than 60 companies. The CCSM has an array of flexible programs for interaction with industry, including personnel exchanges, industrial mentorships, business partnerships, and strategic alliances. This participation provides a timely transfer of knowledge and technology to industry. The Center places more than half of its doctoral graduates in jobs with U. S. industry, and current CCSM students participate in industrial research internships throughout the year. The Center welcomes industry scientists and engineers as researchers-in-residence in its labs. Center faculty and students collaborate with their industry colleagues and regularly publish their collaborative research results in peer-reviewed journals.

The CCSM relies on a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which has been a key industrial resource for the Center, providing guidance and endorsement in formulating its research plans.

Student Information

Students interested in pursuing a master's or doctoral degree through the CCSM must apply to a specific department. CCSM affiliate departments are:

Students may obtain an application for admission to graduate study by contacting the department of their choice directly. Regardless of which department a student applies to, all applications will require a transcript from the studentıs undergraduate institution, letters of reference, and scores on the general test of the Graduate Records Exam.
