Who We Are

The Product Development Center (PDC) is a part of the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), a component of the Engineering Programs within the Texas A&M System.

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 university system, we provide research-driven solutions from real-world experts throughout the product development lifecycle.

The Product Development Center looks forward to continuing to impact businesses and promote economic growth throughout Texas, our nation, and the world.
