New External Advisory Board for ECE, 12.06

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) welcomes seven distinguished individuals from industry and academia to a newly formed ECE department advisory board. The incoming board members will meet at Rice University next month. 

The first order of business is to outline an aggressive vision that complements the George R. Brown School of Engineering's strategic plans. In this process, the team will work with ECE on a number of priorities that include research-funding growth, formation of deeper strategic partnerships with industry, faculty career and professional development, enhancement of the graduate and undergraduate experience, and student recruitment and retention.
