Providing Feedback on Industry Needs, Curriculum Updates and More
The WSU College of Engineering Industry Advisory Board is composed of individuals representing a number of different industries within the state of Kansas and on a national level. When possible, individuals sitting on the Industry Advisory Board are also graduates of the WSU College of Engineering. The dean of the college relies on these board members for feedback on industry engineering needs, curriculum updates and their input on how to provide students with experienced-based learning opportunities alongside fundamental technical knowledge. The board meets once each semester, generally coinciding with the WSU Foundation National Advisory Council Meetings.
