Industrial Advisory Board

A Crucial Resource

The Industrial Advisory Board serves as a vital bridge between the School of Electrical, Computing, and Software Engineering and the broader community. Board members bring real-world perspectives that help shape the school's direction and strengthen its ties to industry.

The board forges partnerships between the school and business and industry leaders, advises on academic programs, research agendas and funding models, supports student career development and outreach initiatives, and advances academic and research excellence.
