Redesigning the World
UTC plans $10 million Investment for Advanced Systems Engineering Institute at UConn
Over the last 15 years, life has changed dramatically. Today, complex devices like smart phones and tablets enable individuals to contact friends, shop, share videos and pay bills online. Air-conditioned, high-speed elevators move people to the top of high rises and notify them when they’ve reached the right floor. Cars help drivers avoid collisions when changing lanes, and even park themselves.
Technology that once seemed like fiction has become reality. Yet in a competitive global economy, the key to success for any business is developing products and services that are even better, faster, less expensive and more reliable – technology that interacts seamlessly, and makes life simpler and safer.
The creation of the next generation of affordable “smart” products and services requires both new designs and new ways of designing. That’s why United Technologies is planning a $10 million investment in the University of Connecticut (UConn) – including one of the largest corporate gifts ever received by UConn – to launch the UTC Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering.
