The College of Engineering Student Advisory Council provides a student perspective on policy, planning, student programming, and budgeting matters for the College of Engineering. The Council meets with the College of Engineering leadership twice a quarter throughout the academic year. The Chair of COESAC works closely with College of Engineering leadership to plan discussion topics for the meetings.

In 2020-2021, examples of key agenda topics include:

• College of Engineering budget
• Direct to college programming
• Student access to clubs and competition groups
• Administrative processes
• DEI work in the CoE
• The new IEB building
• Syllabus standards
• Engineering fundamentals
• College standards on grading
• Academic integrity and cheating
