External Advisory Board

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has an established External Advisory Board, comprised of researchers across industry, national laboratories and universities. Board members, appointed in 2016, are providing critical advice to improve the effectiveness, relevance and impact of the department.

The board meets with the department annually for formal presentations and discussions to assess the progress towards the strategic goals based on previous suggestions.
