Edwards. “Technology transfer had relatively little value relative to other intellectual products of university life and research,” he wrote in an e-mail. In contrast, students and faculty at MIT are more open to commercial opportunities, said Charles L. Cooney, a chemical and biochemical engineering professor at MIT.
