Who We Are

The Product Development Center (PDC) provides research-driven solutions from real-world experts for inventors, manufacturers and researchers with a product at any point in the product development life cycle. As a part of the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), a component of the Engineering Programs within The Texas A&M University System, the PDC has access to a broad range of research and testing expertise, subject matter experts, end users and world-renowned training facilities.

The mission of the PDC is to assist businesses and promote economic growth throughout Texas, the nation, and the world.

Our Experience

As an integral part of the Department of Homeland Security’s System Assessment and Validation of Emergency Response (SAVER) Program, TEEX has had the opportunity to develop methodologies, recruit Subject Matter Experts, and develop partnerships to assess, test and evaluate products for use by emergency responders, providing an unbiased, education-based assessment. As the Mid-Continent Technology Transfer Center, TEEX gained expertise in the process of taking products developed by NASA researchers to the commercial market. Through the PDC, we are expanding our services to reach a broader market of manufacturers, inventors, and researchers in any industry.

By providing access to the full measure of services, experience, partnerships and facilities available through The Texas A&M University System, we provide research-driven solutions from real-world experts throughout the product development life cycle.
