Advisory Council

Our Advisory Council was formed in 1981 to guide the school’s development and planning. Then director Julian C. Smith aimed to maintain excellence in professional programs and expand graduate research. He invited industry and academia representatives to provide guidance for the future.

Council members serve for three years and meet annually with faculty, students, and Cornell Engineering administrators. For more information, please contact cbeevents@cornell.edu.
