      • The Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center, otherwise known as ETIC, is an 8,000 square feet industry-funded research center created to promote research development, innovation and entrepreneurship at the New York Institute of Technology.


      History


      The center was constructed with both state and federal funding. It opened in 2015.
      In 2021, NASA contracted with the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) to have ETIC student employees develop and fabricate novel technology prototypes using the NASA patents. Student employees also create marketing materials for NASA commercialization efforts. An interdisciplinary team of NYIT students is working to create prototypes for NASA technologies, including a robotic therapy vest for patients with neurological impairments and a high-tech device, known as a C-gauge, to measure cord tension in parachutes, sails, and weather balloons.


      Features and facilities



      The ETIC comprises 8,000 square feet including academic working and laboratory space, conference and training rooms, collaborative fabrication and maker space, a smart 100-seat auditorium and a dedicated Data Center.
