Dear students, faculty, staff, and friends: I like to invite you to attend the Boeing Lecture to be held at 4-5 pm on Oct. 1, 2013 at Fowler Hall in the Stewart Center (see attached press release). This year's Boeing Lecture is given by Lt. General C.D. Moore - the commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Mamnagement Center at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the title of his talk is "Preserving aerospace combat advantages in a fiscally constrained environment." More info on this talk and on the general can be found at https://engineering.purdue.edu/AAE/AboutUs/Lectures/boeing/2013BoeingMoore. Since affordability is a requirement in our quest to also increase performance and capabilities, this talk should be of interest. Thank you. Tom Shih, Professor and Head School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Purdue University ********************************************************************
