The MERET Industrial Advisory Board Subcommittee provides valuable guidance and information related to current practices and emerging trends in the industries where our graduates work. Advisory board members come from a wide variety of industries and bring with them a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences. This wealth of knowledge is used to keep our curriculum current and help us make sure that we are preparing our students for the challenges of the global workplace. The board generally meets each semester and members participate in Applied Computing Senior Design Project student presentations as evaluators, meeting with students to offer feedback and provide general advice and mentoring.
