Business and Industrial Advisory Committees of MSOE

The first advisory committee at MSOE was formed in 1913. Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, who was later acknowledged for his genius in AC electrical machinery and circuit research, was among those first committee members.

Listed below are the Academic Industrial Advisory Committees for undergraduate programs and the chairperson for each. Additional committees comprised of industrial and business representatives also exist to advise in other areas of the university such as recruitment and finance.
