Student Advisory Committee

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) Student Advisory Committee (SAC) at Iowa State University is a group of electrical, computer, software, and cyber security engineering students currently enrolled in an undergraduate EE, CprE, Cyb E, or SE program of study at Iowa State who are interested in the vitality of the ECpE department. The committee is a consultant to the ECpE department chair to strengthen the department’s undergraduate academic and outreach programs, improve its facilities usage for undergraduate teaching and research, and expand its available support to current students and future alumni. SAC members actively participate in the continual assessment of the department’s progress and the development of policies and activities pertaining to the undergraduate experience in the department.

SAC members actively assist in recruiting new members, as well. The committee serves at the discretion of the ECpE department chair.

Jonathan Tan
Treasurer

Jonathan Tan is a senior in Computer Engineering and currently serves as the treasurer of IEEE-HKN Nu Chapter; he is also a TA for CPRE 288. Growing up, Jonathan has always been curious about how a computer processor is built out of sand (Silicon) and how it works to process data. This curiosity is the driving reason why he chose to pursue Computer Engineering. His goal is to enter the Concurrent MS program to learn more about the inner workings of a processor and, one day, join a company specializing in computer chip design.
