The desire of many engineers is to see their work end up as a final product offering a real benefit to society-for a lecturer/professor at a university, this is a dream often out of reach of the majority. However, the university academic is a changed species from the early days of the binary line between Universities and Polytechnics and when a lecturer meant just that-teaching to future engineers. This article describes the process and experience gained by a university engineer to spin out their research from the university sector and achieve the goal of a product reaching a global audience.
许多工程师都希望看到自己的工作最终成为一个能为社会带来实际益处的最终产品——对于大学的讲师/教授而言,这是一个大多数人难以企及的梦想。然而,如今的大学学者与大学和理工学院二元划分的早期相比已有所不同,那时讲师的职责仅仅是向未来的工程师授课。本文描述了一位大学工程师将其研究从大学领域剥离出来并实现产品面向全球受众这一目标的过程和经验。
