CISE Advisory Committee

The committee advises the directorate on:

• The impact of the directorate's activities on the fields CISE supports.
• Program balance and other aspects of program performance.
• The impact of overall NSF policies on the CISE community.

Members represent a cross section of computer science and engineering fields, including representatives from various subdisciplines within the field; institutions including industry; and broad geographical representation. We believe broad involvement from the field allows the advisory committee to encompass as many perspectives in engineering as possible.
