At bequest of UNC Board of Governors NC Legislature enacted § 116‑252. Piedmont Triad Graduate Engineering Program; establishment; purpose. which says : There is established the Piedmont Triad Graduate Engineering Program, to be housed in Winston‑Salem in facilities provided by the Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University. The program shall support faculty and graduate students involved in engineering at the campuses of The University of North Carolina  ( NC A&T, NC State, and UNC at

Charlotte)  in order to allow their participation in engineering teaching and research in the Program, which shall provide much‑needed university‑level engineering education to the Piedmont Triad area. The Program shall begin to be phased in effective for the academic year 1991‑92. (1991, c. 316.).
In do so UNC Board of Governors rejected an $20 Million dollar NCA&T/UNCG Engineering and Science Research Center; "but that center [ Piedmont Triad Engineering Research Center ] contains no role for UNCG, which had hoped to get several doctoral level programs out of a joint engineering and science research center with A&T"; "UNCG/A&T proposal had won the enthusiastic endorsement of top Greensboro business leaders. Acting through the Greensboro Development Corp., they last year commissioned a $300,000 study to determine what areas of research a UNCG/A&T center could engage in to the benefit of the Triad economy and its industries"; and I'm [banker E.S. ``Jim'' Melvin, chairman of the Greensboro Development Corp convinced it [Research Center] is the thing to do, but we've got to work through the university system, build the case for it and get it high on the board's priority list.

Last year, the development corporation proposed the idea of developing a UNCG/A&T Knowledge and Industry Campus, perhaps in southeast Greensboro. [Ken Mayer, Editorial, UNCG, A&T University will need to be leaders in the charge for high-tech industry in the Triad, Triad Business Journal Nov 9, 1998]
   
May 19, 1999, UNCG Chancellor Patricia Sullivan and NC A&T Chancellor Edward Forte signed Knowledge Based Economic Development An affiliation Agreement Between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and The University of North Carolina At Greensboro calling for Creation of a Center and Foundation established as a nonprofit corporation. The affiliation agreement called NC A&T and UNCG to take steps to facilitate the creation of a Foundation for Knowledge Based Economic Development - established as nonprofit corporation - whose purpose will be to receive, hold, and invest private monies, royalties and other non-public grant proceeds which maybe given to or derived from the research and development activities conducted under agreement. The Knowledge Based Economic Development An affiliation Agreement signed two months before
 
 
NC A&T Chancellor Renick took over went no where  perhaps because Renick who had experience "economic development" name wasn't on it.
   
In 2003-04, with the backbone of North Carolina's industrial economy Tobacco, Textiles, and Furniture in recession and appropriations for UNC-System taking an ever increasing multi-billion dollar bite out of state's coffers, North Carolina's Legislature thru House Bill 1264 (HB 1264) direct UNC-BOG to contract a private consulting firm that had experience in higher education to conduct a comprehensive study (HB 1264 Study) of the mission and educational program needs to ensure that the State's citizens are academically prepared and equipped for current job opportunities and jobs of the future in North Carolina's growing knowledge economy. HB 1264 Study was designed to
provide information and recommendations that would assist the General Assembly in setting priorities for funding to address the strategic higher education needs of the State. Staying a step ahead stated North Carolina A&T State University is well positioned to grow programs in some of the areas identified as emerging industries, citing Objective 2.2: Increase access to University intellectual property and resources (faculty, students, research. Create market-oriented university research clusters to better communicate research programs. [3]

Identified Emerging Markets [4]

[4][ examples of research clusters created by NC A&T are the following:
  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Advanced Materials, including Chemicals, Plastics and Nanotechnology
  • Biotechnology and Pharmacology
  • Computing, Software and the Internet
  • Design and Arts
  • Logistics and Distribution
  • Public Health
  • Biotechnology, Bio & Food Sciences
  • Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology
  • Computational Science & Engineering
  • Leadership & Community Development
  • Information Sciences & Technology
  • Transportation & Logistics
   
It is predicted that nano scale science will change the nature of almost every human-made product this century. This field has great potential applications in materials, medicine, electronics, optics, data storage, advanced manufacturing, environment, energy, and national security. Some specific applications include: lightweight new materials with greatly improved strength and wear characteristics; ultra dense computer memory; better drug design and better drug and gene delivery; sensing applications for agricultural, biological, chemical and homeland security applications; improved catalysts for the chemical and automotive industries; new materials to improve fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions; and improved batteries and energy efficient processes for energy technologies. Nanoscale materials already find use in numerous pharmaceutical, catalytic, electronic, magnetic, optoelectronic, biomedical, cosmetic and energy applications. [ 9]
NC A&T is "well known in areas such as advanced materials, nanotechnology, computational science, and says N. Radhakrishnan, former for research and economic development at N.C. A&T. The school also has significant strengths in other areas, including biotechnology, energy and the environment, information sciences and technology, logistics and transportation development.
All these endeavors are aligned in eight research clusters that bring faculty together across disciplines to develop large research projects. These research clusters run in parallel with a number of multidisciplinary centers and institutes at N.C. A&T, which develop partnerships with private and corporate sponsors, educational institutions, and government agencies. This includes two US Army Centers of Excellence that are working on projects to enhance the capabilities of soldiers on the battlefield. [3]
