The Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) consists of engineering leaders from the electrical and computer engineering industry appointed by the ECE Chairperson who is an ex-officio member of the IAB. These engineering leaders assist the ECE department in assessing the technical content and performance of its programs in Electrical Engineering and in Computer Engineering.

The IAB meets with the faculty of the ECE department once or twice a year to discuss issues and review the outcomes and objectives of the undergraduate and graduate programs.
