Engineering Technology Advisory Board

The Las Positas College Engineering Technology program has an industry advisory board that meets once or twice a year to gather information from industry partners related to our Career & Technical Education (CTE) program. Our advisory board member’s knowledge and expertise in their field qualify them as highly valuable members of the advisory board and their participation is greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in joining the advisory board please contact the Program Coordinator, Jennifer Decker, at jdecker@laspositascollege.edu and/or the Program Outreach Specialist, Jean O’Neil-Opipari, at joneilopipari@laspositascollege.edu
