The PAF Advisory Committee was established to recommend student-initiated, short-term activities to the Dean for funding. The Committee is directly engaged in the consideration of funding for student projects, and oversees two subcommittees: the Student Team Subcommittee and the Student Travel & Conferences Subcommittee, that are responsible for recommending funding for student teams and travel to conferences, respectively.
The T&C Subcommittee must contain at least seven members, and at least 50% of those members must be students. This Subcommittee is formed at the annual PAF Advisory Committee meeting.
The Student Team Subcommittee was created in 2008 to ensure proper allocation of funding to, and accountability of, student teams. The Subcommittee must contain at least seven members, and at least 50% of the members must be students. Subcommittee members may not be current student team members, but is preferable that a minimum of two subcommittee members have previous team experience. Subcommittee members are elected by the PAF Co-chairs at the beginning of the academic term. The PAF Coordinator attends subcommittee meetings, but is not a voting member. The Chair of the Engineering Student Team Council (ESTC) is also invited to be a non-voting member of the Subcommittee in order to provide clarification on behalf of the student teams.
