we hope that the high school students, many of whom come from underprivilegedcommunities, will be introduced to the engineering profession, and realize that an engineeringdegree can lead them to excellent life long career opportunities in the future.Another goal of the partnership with community colleges is to facilitate access to engineeringeducation at SFSU for transfer students by streaming transfer procedures, and giving technicalpresentations and demonstrations in their engineering courses to acquaint them with our programs.Our main industry partner in PFEE is our long-established Engineering Advisory Board (EAB)consisting of respected local practicing engineers, and our alumni . The EAB advises us on how toshape our curriculum, assists
