Industrial Advisory Board

Department Advisory Boards are the focal communication channels that enhance partnership between the University and various stakeholders & societal establishments. These advisory boards enable such institutions to offer advice, consultation and feedback on a number of areas related to teaching, research and community service activities. This feedback greatly helps to improve the quality of teaching and learning, research and community service, and helps to enhance cooperation between relevant institutions nationally, regionally and internationally.
