Partnership

When universities and corporations collaborate to exploit the potential of IT, greater progress can be made if each partner worked alone. Something valuable occurs when university faculty and graduate students are challenged to apply their knowledge to solving important, real-world problems. Corporations are outstanding at identifying such problems, making data available, and critiquing ideas and approaches. University faculty and graduate students can suggest new approaches and solutions and benefit from having their ideas challenged and honed by the detailed knowledge of their corporate partners. CITGE aims at achieving the following goals through the partnership with industry partners, faculty, and students.
