Advisory Board
The School of Engineering at LAU brings together experienced leaders through its Advisory Board who share a commitment to our students and the school’s future. Their knowledge and perspectives will help us build on our strengths and respond to the changing needs of the engineering profession. The Board will offer guidance on the school’s priorities, help build stronger partnerships with industry, and open doors for student mentorship, research collaboration, and entrepreneurship.
