Industrial Advisory Group
The Industrial Advisory Group (IAG),
consisting of five (5) members, operates in conjunction
with the E&CE Academy (ECEA). One of the members will
serve as Chair for the IAG. If not already a ECEA Board
member, the Chair of the IAG will be an ex-officio
member of the ECEA Board of Directors, and will be granted
voting privileges. The Chair will serve for one (1) year
and will be the third person in seniority in the IAG.
The new chair will be responsible for coordinating the
meeting for the following year. The IAG will normally
meet the day before the Academy meeting.
Members of the IAG will be active members of the Academy
and will serve no longer than five (5) years on the IAG.
At each ECEA meeting, one member of the Academy shall be
elected or appointed to the IAG to replace the member
whose term ends that year.
The purpose of the IAG is to review the adequacy of the
NMSU Klipsch School of Electrical and Computer
Engineering (ECE) educational program in preparing its
graduates for effective and credible entrance and
contributions to the various sectors of industry, the
government, health science, biomedical engineering, the
environment, and advanced research and development
institutions. The review is conducted yearly in the fall
with a report to the ECEA at large, the ECE Department
Head, the Dean of the College and the President of New
Mexico State University. This report provides the scope,
nature and focus of the year’s review and is intended to
support and encourage the future direction of the ECE
program.
The review includes, but is not limited to the
following:
- Undergraduate curriculum
- Graduate curriculum
- Department long range plan
- Staff activities
- Facilities and equipment
- Accreditation compliance (ABET, NCA)
- ECE departmental budget and financial support
- Previous year’s concerns
At the conclusion of the review, an exit interview may be held with the Head of ECE, the Dean of the College and if needed, the President of the University.
A written summary of findings, to include advice and recommendations, will be forwarded to the Department Head within 30 days of the meeting.
