Spring Meeting - March 19-20, 2007  
 


The Engineering Advisory Board (EAB) of the College of Engineering at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is composed of thirty-five (35) senior officers of corporate, government, and industry partners.

These partners support the College of Engineering in its mission and vision. The EAB normally meets twice a year, during established fall and spring meeting dates. The fall meeting is typically a strategic planning meeting and the spring meeting focuses on reporting and review.

The EAB helps the College of Engineering maintain a vision that is based on the beliefs, mission and environment of the university. The EAB helps the college to see the future and inspires the college to be responsive, change, and realize its goals. The EAB assists the College in continuing to adapt to its competitive environment and provides steady guidance to the learning, discovery and engagement endeavors of the College.

The core values and purpose of the college is linked to the activities of the EAB.

Specific activities of the EAB include:
  1. To assist the college in strategic planning and visionary goal setting.
  2. To assist the Dean in maintaining effective liaison with the university and external community.
  3. To assist the Dean in achieving and maintaining a national reputation in scholarships, research, academics, and outreach.

The EAB works in tandem with the administration of the College of Engineering to identify action steps and assists the administrative team in realizing its targets. In order to be effective, the EAB assigns different visionary goals to subcommittees.

Subcommittee work is done year-round and is accomplished through work groups that meet via web meetings, teleconferencing and email.
