Abstract
Research develops cutting-edge knowledge and technologies. Corporate engineers use these research results as input for their engineering activities. In literature, research results are classified by discipline and technologies following technology readiness levels. Here, we present a research results classification model based on the technology readiness levels that allow the allocation of any result from engineering research. We anticipate our results to be a starting point for developing targeted design support for the more efficient use of research results in corporate product engineering.
