Center members meet twice yearly (spring and fall) to finalize and approve new projects and to receive updates on the status of the ongoing research of the Center. Member organizations appoint a representative(s) to oversee their interests in the Center's activities and to report back to their organizations on technology that can enhance existing products or lead to the development of new ones. Members also can mentor projects which they feel are highly relevant to their companies. In this capacity of Project Monitor, a member works closely with the faculty and students to provide their organization's perspective to the work, keep the project on target, and represent the Advisory Board interests.
