INDUSTRIAL ADVISARY BOARD

 

Annual Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meetings are very useful in receiving feedback from industry and employers as they are one of the key stakeholders of the Department and the Faculty. IAB is comprised of multitude of representatives from different industries related to the six sub-specialization areas of DEEE. The IAB meeting minutes are properly maintained and follow-up actions are also presented to IAB and discussed at the next meetings. This provides an opportunity for DEEE to hear the views from the industry on modifications of DEEE curriculum, student performances in the industry and required areas of improvement and any other matter not foreseen by the DEEE.
