    The table above illustrates how each of the six key mission phrases map closely to the five EE program objectives. This mapping is reviewed annually for consistency with the outcomes measurements. The outcomes measurements and program enhancements are reviewed with the program constituencies on an annual basis.

CONSTITUENCIES :

The constituencies of the program are:

• Undergraduate students
• Alumni
• Faculty
• Industry

   As a program constituent, industry is represented to the program via the Engineering Advisory Council (EAC). The EAC consists of engineers, engineering managers, and business leaders from local industry. It is an advisory council that serves both ECE and ME departments. The primary charter of this group is to:

• Provide advice and counsel on curriculum, faculty-industry interaction, outcomes assessment and program development
• Identify the technical needs of the Erie area in general and individual companies, in particular for research, development, and continuing education.

   All program constituents are included in the program assessment process and provide feedback on the program.
