The Cochrane Institute of Alpha Centauri, also the Cochrane Institute of Technology, was a human institution on Alpha Centauri. Named for Zefram Cochrane, the institute was dedicated to technological research and development, including warp propulsion, starship design and transporter technology.

History and specifics[]

It was founded in New Samarkand on Alpha Centauri III.

In 2155, at the time of the Earth-Romulan War, the Cochrane Institute began working with the United Earth Starfleet in developing a warp seven engine as part of a technological race between Earth and Romulus. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

In the 22nd century, the Cochrane Institute teamed with Earth scientists in developing the first transporter. (DS9 - The Lives of Dax short story: "Dead Man's Hand")

In 2269, scientists from the Cochrane Institute were dispatched to Talin IV to study the wreckage of the USS Enterprise. (TOS novel: Prime Directive)

USS Lexington Chief Engineer Wendall Manyard graduated with honors from the Cochrane Institute of Technology before joining Starfleet. (FASA RPG module: The Strider Incident)

In the 24th century, the Cochrane Institute published an academic journal, the Journal of the Cochrane Institute. (TNG episode: "Redemption")

This institute may be related to the Cochrane Foundation for the Study of Multiphysics.
