Well, and time. I imagine it would take 3 to 5 years to start poaching and recruiting new, top faculty. These top faculty in turn have to recruit top PhD students and assemble research labs, which is going to take time as the school is not yet mentioned among the top 10-20 programs. Tack a few more years on for enough publications to hit top venues. This is probably at least a decade to hit the level of, say, USC, let alone crack the top 10 or even top 3 occupied by the likes of a CMU or a Stanford or a Berkeley.
- gravypod 11y agoI know a few people who work in R&D who are quite good at their activities. They can usually turn around an effective product in at max a year. They usually create a set of underlying patents, this takes maybe a year of reading academic journals and thinking of your physics and me guys, and then you usually have a theory you can put in practice. Apparently, all they need from there is a trip to home depot, one or two things off amazon, and a PCB designed and printed. From there, they can make a wide range of products. One small invention can be used as the underbelly for many, many pieces of technology; everything that comes as a result usually also has one or two applications to research or defense. This means big money. Most real R&D is self sustaining, so long as you have a team that can sell. The hard part of R&D is getting the right people in my mind. I've had this conversation with many people, and it usually helps to ask this: has anyone you have met who works in R&D said they didn't like their job? I've never heard of it. I'm curious to see what you think.
