The College of Engineering's various Industry Advisory Boards are designed to bring the University into direct contact and active communication with the industry they support. The purpose of the Boards is to bring new ideas and fresh viewpoints to the University and this College, as well as ensure our curriculum aligns with the needs of the aerospace industry. Board members serve as liaisons with programs and external organizations.
