Engineering Advisory Board

The primary mission of the Engineering Advisory Board is to assist The Henry Samueli School of Engineering in developing strategic relationships with the engineering and business community, within Orange County and nationwide, which will garner the support necessary to ensure the school can reach its academic goals into the foreseeable future. A secondary mission of the board is to provide meaningful feedback to the dean and the faculty of the school regarding academic and research goals.

Membership

It is our belief that engineering touches almost every sector of Orange County's economy, and of the nation. Therefore, the Engineering Advisory Board members include experienced professionals in traditional fields of engineering; engineers and managers of high technology companies; venture capitalists; and other prominent members of the Orange County business community. Membership on the Engineering Advisory Board is by invitation, and is open to Engineering Corporate Affiliates, members of the industrial community, and alumni of the School.
