Innovation Center Update

• General agreement with Motorola for a 3M gift is
  targeted to be completed during this month.
• Plans and drawings to facilitate old Jewel
  building (by Harrison and Racine) to create state
  of the art innovation center are complete and
  renovation expected to be finished by 1Q,08
• Initial budget will support three
  interdisciplinary projects (Colleges of Business,
  Architecture and the Arts, and Engineering) are
  involved and working teams meet regularly to
  track progress.
• First project has been approved by the Deans and
  Motorola and it is underway, two remaining
  projects still under discussion.

Technology Center

Technology Center Overview

• The College of Engineering at UIC has decided to
  create a Technology Center as part of the
  Strategic Plan 2010 for the College.
• Given that UIC is located in the heart of
  Chicago, it should be possible for the College to
  create Technology Centers
• As traditional research funding flattens, this
  could be a new source of funding
• The market for Engineering Services in the US is
  180 billion, whereas the total funding for basic
  research is 54 billion
• Can be used as a resource by local companies and
  government agencies
• Bring in shorter term research and development
  contracts
• Similar to model of Energy Resources Center at
  UIC or Information Sciences Institute at USC,
  GTRI at Georgia Tech, Applied Physics Lab at
  Johns Hopkins University

59
Technology Centers

• Win for Industry
• Normal cost of outsourcing of contracts is 150
  per hour
• Outsourcing of projects to India/China is cheap
  but faces difficulty of remote management
• UIC is uniquely positioned in being one hour from
  local industry
• Can be done at competitive prices (40 per hour
  involving graduate students)
• Win for Students
• Provide alternate source of financial support for
  students
• Provide Co-Op Experience locally at UIC
• Prepare them for future employment
• Win for UIC and College of Engineering
• Increase total funding, helps rankings
• Increase ties between faculty and industry
• May lead to more research funding

60
Tech Center Agreement

• Faculty can complement their existing consulting
  services with services provided as part of the
  Tech Center Can only work a total one day a
  week on these activities, limit 52 days/year
• Graduate students limited to 20 hrs/week during
  Fall and Spring Semester, 40hrs/wk during
  Summer
• Authorized to use University Facilities such as
  labs, computers, software as part of these
  consulting projects
• Any NEW intellectual property that is developed
  as part of the consulting will be owned by
  company/customer - not UIC
• Any past IP that UIC faculty have developed prior
  to consulting project will remain owned by UIC
• Company can license the past IP under existing
  OVCR terms
• All faculty and students will sign Non-Disclosure
  Agreements

61
Financial Statement

• Program was officially approved by UI Board of
  Trustees on March 13th,2007
• Companies Involved
• Motorola
• JSC
• Baxter
• Lisle Technology Partners
• Sargent and Lundy
• PCTel
• Others
• Around 20 students are active in this Program
• Revenue for 2006-2007 (June Close) was around
  650k Projecting 2007-2008 to be 50 higher

62
Role of Advisory Board

• This is a very attractive value proposition for
  local companies.
• More companies are taking advantage of this
  resource
• Need to grow at a faster rate
• Need assistance from AB member companies to use
  and commit to use this valuable offering to show
  support.
