ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES SUSTAIN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN ALABAMA

This paper discusses the operation of the Alabama Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), a joint effort of Engineering Outreach and Continuing Education of the College of Engineering and the Civil Engineering Department at Auburn University. The ATTC is one of the oldest such centers in the U.S, being formed in 1983 as part of the original Rural Technical Assistance Program of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration. Technical and other types of activities coordinated by the ATTC include planning statewide conferences, conducting research, instructing courses, and advising student groups, all in support of technology transfer.
