The CCE Advisory Board consists of chemical engineering and chemistry professionals representing primarily the local industry as well as other academic institutions and research organizations. Many board members have been or currently are employers, or research supervisors of our graduates, and/or active members of AIChE, ACS, or other professional or community service organizations. Some are also alumni of our department. The Advisory Board meets annually to discuss various issues such as program, student, and faculty highlights and accomplishments; enrollment trends and measures required; ABET, ACS and SACS assessment updates; program educational objectives review; bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral program updates and curriculum upgrades; senior plant design reports and presentations and external assessment; research, internship, and scholarship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
