Advisory Councils

The School of Architecture & Design has established advisory councils for specific programs and/or departments, composed of prominent members in the various design fields, to lend their support and advice on the continuous development of the respective programs. These councils meet on a regular basis to review and assess the performance of the various programs.

Among the objectives of the advisory councils: to offer feedback for enhancing curricula, to assess the preparation of graduates for the job market, and to serve as a liaison with the industry and government agencies.
