Abstract: The management of technology program at the University of New Mexico started with a 1980 National Science Foundation grant to commercialize technology when the concept was not fully understood except by a few. In a targeted open innovation fashion, the program went through multiple changes to satisfy the needs of large and small companies (the industry); the government’s many levels at the local, state, and federal levels; academic programs’ research; and teaching needs. It blended the cultural aspects of the field and the disciplines contributing to these programs as well as the environment in which they operated in true quintuple helix fashion. The article describes the last 35 years of these activities and explains the significance of these accomplishments where the program’s faculty and students used real-life projects with technology firms to learn by doing rather than from theories or cases only.
