Board of Visitors - Civil & Environmental Engineering

The Board constitutes a vital link between civil and environmental engineering education and civil and environmental engineering practice. They provide advice that enables the School to better perform its role of preparing students for the practice of engineering, and serve to disseminate among practitioners a clear and objective understanding of the manner in which the School is attempting to fulfill this role.
