Research and Innovation (DR&I)
The DR&I proposes and implements the course of action of the College of Engineering (CoE) towards the strengthening of its leading position in Translational Research across UPRM, Puerto Rico and the Americas. The DR&I is in charge of overseeing of the research facilities within the CoE, recognizing emerging research areas, and promoting the development and implementation of strategic research clusters aligned to new graduate programs while up-dating of the current ones.
The DR&I is also responsible for the guidance, evaluation, and verification of administration & compliance issues associated to research activities. Intellectual property (IP) matters are inherent to many of the activities within the CoE; therefore, a working understanding of IP becomes indispensable to manage related issues when interacting with academic peers, governmental offices or industrial partners.
