The CCE Advisory Board consists of chemical engineering and chemistry professionals representing primarily the local industry as well as other academic institutions and research organizations. Many board members have been or currently are employers, or research supervisors of our graduates, and/or active members of AIChE, ACS, or other progessional or community service organizations. Some are also alumni of our department.
