Advisory Board

The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Advisory Board will provide an independent external review once every year. The primary purpose will be to review current Division academic and research programs, assessing contributions and achievements compared to our peers, and providing help in establishing long-range goals and priorities. The focus will be on maintaining and enhancing quality, relevance and excellence, and on strengthening the reputation of the Division.
