Industrial Advisory Board

Working closely with the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) helps maintain the excellence of our undergraduate and graduate programs and encourages the Department to continue improving its broad, rigorous, 'hands-on' approach to engineering education. The IAB meets every two years to provide invaluable feedback on our current operations and future plans.

Board Objectives

The IAB provides advice to the department on a broad range of topics and, in particular,

  • helps keep the Department up-to-date on current and future needs of graduates,
  • assists the Department in developing and implementing its goals,
  • links students and scholars to industry and government representatives,
  • facilitates communication between industry leaders and Department, and
  • promotes the needs of Gauchos in seeking public and private support.

We extend a heartfelt thank-you from the Department to all of our members and participants.
