, technology transfer occurs seriously below its potential. The transfer of technology will be accomplished best if the creators of technology assume the primary responsibility for its transfer.

Technology transfer, computational and mathematical modeling, and education have an importance to economic competitiveness that is very large relative to the recognition given to these activities by the academic mathematical sciences community.

· The board endorses the conclusions and recommendations of The Fe~lera;t High Performance Computing Program t21;. The mathematical sciences community has the primary responsibility for collegiate mathematics education of engineers and scientists.

In the critically important case of statistical quality control and quality improvement, the time for transfer of methods of statistical experimental design to industrial use has exceeded 70 years and is still far from complete. To ensure that technology transfer occurs, mathematical scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and business leaders must accept the task to be accomplished and plan for the result.

The mathematical sciences should also take full advantage of existing programs. Many states have industrial clevelopment programs that have paid favorable attention to well-conceived initiatives for technology transfer from the mathematical sciences.

At this point' an important step in completing technology transfer to the industrial sector has taken place. A well-focused program can attract the support of an industry-wide consortium.

From page 94... ...
Case studies drawn from industrial practice would show how theory is used in practice and 5UMAP, the Undergraduate Mathematics and Its Applications Program, has been funded by the National Science Foundation. This CoMAP program produced more than 300 teaching modules and numerous monographs in the period between 1976 and 1981.

From page 95... ...
Technology transfer can occur only with the full support of the people who are actively engaged in the process. The board proposes that the mathematical professional societies include technology transfer within their mission and encourage, through workshops, minisymposia, and plenary lectures, more interaction among mathematicians in industry, universities, and government laboratories.
