institutions, has programs throughthe doctoral level.
Its programs include engineering, arts and sciences,
agricultural and environmental sciences, business and
economics, education, nursing, technology, and graduates
studies. “
The expected roles of a land- grant institution,
is teaching agriculture and engineering, and providing
cooperative extension services”. NC
A&T's 2001 amend University Master Plan called for
developing 75 acres of land along East Lee Street
targeted to develop new opportunities for both research
and education in both the private and academic arenas
between the University's technology and agricultural
research and its students, which didn't include

NCA&T State University has been funded at an
average rate of $3-5 million per year in the
area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Most
of the research in nanoengineering is done
in the Center for  Advanced
Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS).
Several Centers and projects are under CAMSS,
including the NSF Center for Research
Excellence in Science and Technology
(CREST), the DoD Center for Nanoscience,
Nanomaterials and Multifunctional Materials
(CNN) for Homeland Security, the NSF
Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC),
the NSF project on US/Europe Materials

also facilitates many of the materials
research activities of the NASA-National

addition, the Center for Composite Materials
Research (CCMR) does research in
nano-enhanced composite materials and the
Army Center of Excellence for Battlefield

City's Greensboro
Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was

Comprehensive Plan is to promote economic
development in historically under-served
parts of the City such as East Greensboro.
Properties in these areas should receive
priority consideration as the City
designates and promotes land for economic
development. The NCA&TSU Farm site is one
such candidate. 7D.3 Promote economic
development through public/private
partnerships to include government, economic
development agencies, educational and health
care institutions, and businesses. Build on
existing partnerships and initiatives in
this effort. Examples include:

|
University-related research and development
opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building
on the example of the Nussbaum Center
incubator facility)[ One of their
primary tasks will be keeping tabs on
research at the two universities, in areas
such as engineering and sciences, that might
have commercial uses. They will look for
existing companies that could benefit from
that research and explore the potential of
using it to create start-up businesses.]
