• Annual Conference and ECExpo: At the Annual Conference and ECExpo, ECEDHA members gather to discuss the issues affecting your universities and ECE curriculum. Discussion topics include globalization, department management, corporate connections, recruitment, retention, graduate employment, accreditation, and much more.

• Annual Survey: ECEDHA administers an annual survey collecting data regarding lab and office space, faculty and department head salaries, research budgets, student retention, graduation rates, and much more. A comprehensive report is compiled with participants broken out by cohort. Survey participants have access to this valuable data for benchmarking your university against similar institutions.

• The ECEDHA Source E-Newsletter: ECEDHA's quarterly e-newsletter features articles on timely topics of interest to members as well as updates on organization news.

• Corporate Connections: Build relationships with industry and enhance your students' college experiences. Learn about the latest lab equipment, text books, and materials for your current students as well as network with companies for recruiting, internship, and co-op opportunities.

• Member Communications: The ECEDHA office maintains an accurate database of all ECEDHA members, provides mailing lists for departmental newsletters and other communications, and maintains a private email list so that members' inboxes will not overflow with unsolicited mail. The online calendar announces upcoming workshops that may be of interest to members and directs them to find out more information without email blasts.

• Specialized Workshops: ECEDHA hosts specialized workshops on timely topics for the members. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued grants for series of workshops on nanotechnology and on globalization. Also, ECEDHA hosts a workshop for upcoming ABET reviews prior to the Annual Conference each year.

• Regional Meetings: ECEDHA members gather in smaller, targeted regional groups to discuss the issues affecting your universities that the entire membership may not be facing. These smaller networking opportunities are key in learning about new and innovative programs at other universities and will benefit everyone involved.
