Advisory Councils

The purpose of the biological and agricultural engineering department's advisory councils is to:

• Provide advice from the perspective of alumni, successful engineering practitioners, industry and business leaders, and other external entities regarding the relevance of our programs and the efficiency of our internal operations;
• Provide a connection between our faculty and students on campus and the various industries they represent; and
• Provide leadership to the many K-State engineering alumni—this leadership comes in the form of service and financial support.
