Industry Advisory Committee

The Software Engineering Industry Advisory Committee advises our program faculty on industry trends and needs and helps to keep the curriculum up-to-date and to maintain program goals. The program faculty report to the committee on the program, focusing on recent and planned changes, enrollment, and events.

Most industry members are engineering managers or senior engineers and have a close familiarity with what their company needs from a software engineering graduate. Student members of the committee broaden its perspective by raising issues of importance to their class and participating in committee discussions.
