External Advisory Board

The primary function of the Swenson College of Science and Engineering External Advisory Board is to review the overall content of our programs to determine if they are compatible with the current and potential needs and practices of industry and other employers of our graduates, and to suggest and support the implementation of curricular or structural changes, if such items are identified. This External Advisory Board can also lead us in discussions of real-world scientific and engineering issues, as well as economical and political realities. This advice is extremely important as we strive to educate students to be properly prepared to enter the work force, or continue their professional education.
