Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
What is the Nanotechnology Technical Advisory Committee?
The mission of the Nanotechnology program Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is to advise North Seattle Community College in preparing a nanotechnology workforce whose skills match the needs of local industry. Our members represent a wide range of nanotechnology industries and research interests. The Nanotechnology TAC meets three times a year to discuss changes in the regional nanotechnology industry, recommend and support nanotechnology curriculum changes, and suggest companies for membership and internship opportunities.
Seattle Community College Technical Advisory Committees
Committees are goal-oriented and achieve results. They support constructive and necessary change within a program, generate new ideas, and serve as advocates for quality technical education.
Technical Advisory Committees have five major roles:
- Providing information which will update, modify, expand and improve the quality of technical programs
- Supporting and strengthening the relationship between business, labor, the community, and education
- Making recommendations which will strengthen and expand the technical curriculum and providing assistance in implementing these recommendations
- Assisting in identifying needs, determining priorities, and in reviewing and evaluating programs
- Articulating long-term goals and objectives of the technical programs to students, parents, employers and the community
