New advisory board focuses on aggressive vision for electrical & computer engineering
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering welcomes seven
distinguished individuals from industry and academia to a newly formed
ECE department advisory board. The incoming board members met in
January at Rice University. "The department has a high national
ranking, research expenditures are growing, and the faculty is quite
active and visible, nationally and internationally," said Behnaam
Aazhang, ECE department chair. "Our challenge is to break into the
upper tier of the top-10 ranking and to position the department for the
future growth that President Leebron anticipates for Rice University.
The advisory board is an outstanding group of accomplished individuals
with a particular affinity for Rice ECE. With the board's guidance, we
can take an already great department to the next level."
The advisory board members, who will serve for an initial three-year term, through 2009, include: Dr.
