Mission

The Software Engineering Student Advisory Council (SE SAC) serves as the bridge between the Software Engineering students and the Software Engineering Program. Council members meet on a regular basis to discuss student issues and concerns and to provide valuable feedback regarding the program curriculum, resources and services. Input from the council is conveyed to the Professor-in-Charge, faculty, staff, and the External Advisory Council (EAC), with the intention of providing continuous program improvement.

Council Responsibilities

The council is responsible for duties such as the following:

  1. Meeting with the Professor-in-Charge at least once a semester.
  2. Participate in Software Engineering Curriculum meetings.
  3. Participate in Software Engineering External Advisory Council Meetings.
  4. Organize student town-hall meetings once a semester to gain feedback from students about the program and to inform students about upcoming changes in the program/curriculum.
  5. Organize faculty town-hall meetings once a semester to inform faculty of student feedback about the program.

Council Membership Goals

  • Must have completed at least two semesters in SE before the start of the appointment.
  • Must maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA.
  • Ideal SE SAC representation will include at least two sophomores, two juniors, and two seniors at the beginning of each Fall semester.
