Advisory Board

With a strong emphasis placed on an interactive relationship between the ECE department and the corporate community, the advisory board plays an important role in bringing the two together. The advisory board consists of a group of prominent professionals in both technical and academic fields, with a broad range of companies represented. Meeting bi-annually on NC State’s Centennial Campus, the board provides strong council for ECE and helps to keep the department aware of market trends and needs within the corporate world. At each meeting, activities of the past term are reviewed, such as the work of faculty and students, as well as department events. The format of the meetings consists of various presentations and discussions, lasting for several hours. Below, you will find a list of advisory board members and the titles they hold at their respective companies.
