COLLEGE PARK, Md., June 27 (UPI) -- The University of Maryland and the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency are starting a pilot academic fellows program.
The program to generate new technologies by the university's James Clark School of Engineering and DARPA is will take a first step toward developing a new method for revolutionizing future defense technologies -- a method based on the interaction of people who normally work from different agendas and perspectives.
"The Clark School, by virtue of its proximity to and close relations with major federal agencies, is well prepared to assist DARPA in establishing a new basis for creating the advanced technologies our armed services will need in the future," said Clark School Dean Darryll Pines. "We are building a new way for military and academic personnel to interact that will challenge both and derive innovations neither would achieve by working alone."
