- One member will be elected from each of the six departments (nominated and elected by voting members of each department, based on their bylaws).
- One member will be nominated and elected by the Program faculty not affiliated/rostered with a department (ATLAS, Integrated Design Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Herbst, and Engineering Management); and
- Six at-large members. These members may be tenured, tenure-track, instructor-track, scholars-in-residence, or research-track faculty.
