College of Engineering Advisory Board

The Engineering Advisory Board (EAB) is composed of leaders from industry, academia, and the public sector who provide strategic guidance to the Dean of the College of Engineering. Their insights help shape the College’s long-term vision, strengthen academic and research programs, and support resource development.

EAB members serve as advocates for the College, supporting its goals, achievements, and opportunities across a broad range of external audiences.

Strategic Focus Areas

The EAB contributes to five core strategic priorities:

  • Academics
  • Research
  • Advocacy
  • Financial Health
  • Strategic Direction

The Board meets twice annually to review progress and provide critical feedback on the College’s performance and initiatives.

Diverse Perspectives, Shared Commitment

Our Board members represent a wide range of industries and bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the table. What unites them is a shared commitment to advancing engineering education, research, and service, to transforming the future of the profession.
