Advisory Council

The Mechanical Engineering department has established an advisory council in order to strengthen the relations between the industrial partners and the department. The council advises the department on undergraduate education issues, industrial research and infrastructure development. Council members meet twice a year. For the last eleven years the Council has been contributing toward scholarship, laboratory development and educational tools as well as their careful monitoring of our programs for ABET accreditation.
