The annual award recognizes one company for its consistent support of research activities at the school.<\/p>\n<p>Harris and UCF have an ongoing agreement to promote research and development in a variety of engineering fields. Harris donated $3 million to UCF in 2005 that was matched by state funds and used to equip research labs in the school&#8217;s Harris Corporation Engineering Center. The labs specialize in some of today&#8217;s most advanced engineering disciplines, such as microwave and wireless communications, full-motion video processing, computer vision, robotics, software engineering and large-scale designs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The UCF School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is playing a key role in expanding the technology base of Central Florida and in preparing the highly skilled workforce upon which Harris and other technology companies rely,&#8221; said Kent Buchanan, chief technology officer of Harris and vice president of Engineering for its Government Communications Systems business. &#8220;Harris has had a strong relationship with UCF for many years and some 690 graduates are employed at every level of our organization. We are honored to receive the 2009 Industry Research Sponsor award.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Harris\/UCF relationship is an excellent example of the community benefits that result when industry and education work together to achieve larger goals,&#8221; said Dr. Mubarak Shah, Agere Chair professor at the UCF School of EECS, and chair of the Industry Day organizing committee. &#8220;The partnership we have with Harris is a win-win situation. In addition to helping provide students a superior education, their support offers our researchers the opportunity to solve real-world problems while Harris has access to research findings that are important to new technology initiatives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries. Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the company has annual revenue of $5.4 billion and 16,000 employees &#8212; including nearly 7,000 engineers and scientists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received the Industry Research Sponsor Award from the UCF School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).
