Program Advisory Committees

Each program of study will have a Program Advisory Committee (PAC) or Business and Industry Leadership Team (BILT) to advise program faculty and administration concerning curriculum, student learning outcomes, facilities, instruction methods, equipment, enrollment, job opportunities, and other issues critical to the quality and success of technical education.
