Advisory Board
The Department of Engineering and Technology Management Advisory Board (DAB) assists the engineering and technology management program by reviewing curriculum changes; analyzing facilities; reviewing equipment needs; bringing expertise to the classroom; and supporting student internships.
Advisory board members continue to be an excellent communications network to industries in the region, as well as to University administration. The DAB has also been instrumental in orchestrating funding from corporations in support of a teaching professorship for the department.
Advisory Board membership updated: 2025–2026 academic year.
