The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Industrial Advisory Board meets three times a year and provides vital input into all aspects of our research and teaching.

The Board offers insight and advice into our teaching curricula and guest lectures as well as support for research through industry-supported MSc & PhD projects, collaborative research projects, and contract research. In addition, they equip us with key insights into the industry which helps to shape new research areas for us to explore.

Benefits to the School include:

  • The quality of the School's degree programmes is maintained.
  • Identifying industry developments which are likely to have a significant impact on the School’s activities.
  • Reviewing the School’s research strategy with respect to its industrial relevance and to support current or planned research projects.    
  • Exploring ways in which the School can catalyse, encourage and foster a higher level of industry involvement in its degree and research programmes. 

Benefits to board members include:

  • A raised awareness of the industrial partner's activities amongst staff and the students in the School.
  • To ensure that EECS graduates have the essential skills that are required by them as future employees.
  • To provide a suitable academic partner to help secure funding for R&D projects.
  • Networking opportunities with other companies in the EECS network.
  • Access to a large student population to undertake a wide range of projects.
