CCEE Advisory Board

The Advisory Board supports, on a continuing basis, the development and advancement of the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. The board serves as a mechanism to inform the public and the practicing profession of the progress of the department, provides a proactive outcome assessment vehicle for the department's academic programs as well as a forum for dialogue related to the department’s development, and assists the department in achieving and maintaining its objectives of providing academic civil engineering programs of genuine excellence. While the board provides a mechanism by which the faculty are able to become aware of the technical and professional trends in industry and within the profession, it also provides a forum through which the department can inform the profession about current activities within academia.
