Having a shared program and common interests in increasing the quality and number of computer scientists in South Carolina lead to the formation of a joint advisory board, which can efficiently leverage the technical expertise and leadership available in our rapidly growing technical community. The JIAB strengthens and enriches the connections between academics and industry partners to promote and support the growing technical community in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
The JIAB will concentrate on matters of strategic direction and philosophy of the computing programs offered by each institution. The Board shall have, as a specific charge, the responsibility for making recommendations that will enhance and make more relevant the total educational program of the departments at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Board will review activities of the departments with the goal of keeping the Departments focused on all mission areas.
Academic-industry linkage can also lead to new opportunities for computer science students, including:
