External Advisory Committee
UT PGE seeks the advice and consultation of an External Advisory Committee (EAC) made up leaders in the oil and gas industry, sustainable energy fields, academia, and the nonprofit sector. Through this mechanism, faculty and EAC members enhance teaching excellence and improve the recruitment effort of quality students.
The EAC structure provides a means for faculty to learn about technical, business and philosophical trends taking place in industry. Similarly, the EAC provides a format in which the department can inform industry about current thinking in academia.
UT PGE is grateful for the dedication and insight of our current EAC members:
