Advisory Council

The Civil Engineering Program formed an Industry Advisory Committee in November 2014 to assist the program in the assessment and evaluation of the realization of Program Educational Objectives and the Student Outcomes. The program regularly asks feedback from them on current trends in the industry, and updates in technological development in their respective areas of expertise. Such feedback guides the program in updating the course contents in the course syllabi for fundamental and professional civil engineering courses as well as for elective courses.

Moreover, the UST CE Department collects survey data to assess the attainment of the PEOs through the Alumni Survey and the Employers Survey. The assessment data from these surveys are presented to the members of IAC through consultative meetings for their feedback.
