The College of Engineering Advisory Board provides value to the college in developing and achieving its strategic plan/vision.
The board provides advice by drawing upon perspectives, knowledge, and experiences from global trends. Meanwhile, the college provides awareness and knowledge of new technologies and educational trends, and informs the Board of its progress in achieving the strategic plan.
Board members benefit by being part of ongoing communication between the world of engineering education as represented by the University of Iowa College of Engineering and the full spectrum of engineering activities.
The primary functions of the board are to:
- Interact with the College of Engineering leadership team
- Support departmental, center, institute, and other university advisory boards
- Advocate with other constituencies critical to the success of the college, such as:
- Professional and business communities
- Industry and government
- University administration
- Interact with the College of Engineering Development Council as needed.
