Industrial Advisory Board
As part of our process for continuously improving our programs and the quality of our graduates, we regularly meet with our alumni and members of local industry for advising. The objectives of ECE’s Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) are to provide feedback on strengths and weaknesses of recent graduates from our B.S. and M.S. programs, advise the faculty on how to best prepare our students for engineering careers, provide opportunities for students to apply for engineering positions and internships, promote our students and advocate our programs to the engineering companies within the region, and to provide program feedback as part of our continuous improvement and ABET accreditation processes.
Our IAB membership includes representation from many companies in the Portland region that hire graduates from our programs and develop technologies that include electrical and computer engineering. Our pool of advisors work at all levels from individual contributor to CEO of companies.
