External Advisory Board

The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering has an external advisory board that helps guide, suggest feedback and leadership to the school. The external advisory board are members from different parts of the mechanical engineering industry. The intellectual diversity of the advisory board is what helps separate this school from many others because of their expertise in their respective mechanical engineering fields. We are proud to have these individuals help guide the school, the faculty and our students into a bright future.
