Advisory Board – AB

The College of Engineering Advisory Board was established in May 1980 with the objective of having an active involvement of key government, industry, and academia representatives in the development of the college’s strategy. This board meets twice a year. The Advisory Board:

• Provides external feedback on areas of curriculum improvement to better prepare our students
• Develops long-term strategy plans
• Solicits funding to upgrade and support our research and instructional laboratories, supports on-going research, scholarships and chaired professorships
• Supports career placement
• Participates in Industry Days
