Union Computer Engineering  Advisory Committee

To ensure that Union's Computer  Engineering program is responsive to the needs of its constituencies,  representatives of the constituencies are brought together in a committee to review the published CpE mission statement and objectives, discuss the program's progress in meeting the objectives, and to make recommendations for changes in mission, objectives and assessment procedures for the program. A formal annual meeting has been held at the end of each academic year since 1998. In the spring of 2000, a charter for the committee was drafted.
