College Advisory Board

The Tagliatela College of Engineering Advisory Board was re-established by Dr. Barry Farbrother, Dean. The first meeting was convened in Spring 2007 consisting of 12 officers of prominent businesses and industries in Connecticut, including one from Viaon Technology Co., Ltd. in China.  The Board meets semi-annually, in the spring and fall, and assists the College in making decisions for improvements and additions to the curriculum and to recruitment and enrollment practices.
