abstract

  • The valuable assistance provided by the industrial advisory committees (IAC) to industrial-based programs is discussed. IAC provide valuable guidance and input on how industrial-based programs can remain competitive and current with industrial trends. These committees provide information about new technologies, sponsor co-op and internship programs, provide jobs for graduates and have first hand knowledge about hiring trends. The important of IAC continue to grow as pressure mounts to establish a curriculum that is responsive to and addresses the needs of both students and the business community.
