Corporate Relations - IPAC Advisory Board 2009

Each College of Engineering department has their own Industrial and Professional Advisory Council (IPAC) which is made up of representatives from industry, government agencies, academia and the profession. They help advise the various departments and the College of Engineering on academic issues and on current trends and future directions in engineering. IPAC is a forum where ideas are exchanged and recommendations are made and provides a direct link between the College and the engineering profession. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering IPAC, contact: Dr. Karen Thole, Department Head, phone 814-865-2519 or by E-Mail at KThole@psu.edu.
