COE Advisory Board

The College of Engineering Advisory Board (EAB) provides “external” advice to the dean regarding priorities and directions for engineering education and research. Board members are from the private sector and academia, and include both alumni and other individuals who are interested in the success of Georgia Tech. Invitation to the EAB is based on recommendations from the current members, from schools in the College of Engineering, and from discussions with the provost and president. Meetings are usually one day in duration, preceded by an evening dinner, and are generally held in Atlanta twice a year, in the spring and fall.
