UNC Charlotte
Cameron Applied Research Center
Opened in 1991, this facility houses the Engineering Research and
Development office, the Urban Institute, and the Center for Business
Research and Development, as well as high-tech research and teaching
facilities. The research projects in the areas of Life Science and
Engineering, Industry and Commerce, and Community Living are performed
through shared learning.
Students, faculty, staff and community
partners form a creative and interdisciplinary environment to conduct
applied scientific, technological, and policy research, and to pursue
its commercial development to benefit the region, state, and nation.
Some of the research projects in the past include: finding new ways to
reduce the rejection rate in liver transplants (Life Science and Engineering), the creation of tools and
techniques for high speed machining and developing technologies
for ultra precision mechanical measurement (industry and commerce),
and finding a solution to the rising costs of Medicaid by developing
a cost-effective packaging scheme for a local company (community).
