by Donna Bystrom 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Dear colleagues, The School of Engineering Education is pleased to invite you to join us for our inaugural Interdisciplinary Engineering Colloquium, "It Takes a Team: Reflections at the 50th Anniversary of Human Spaceflight," this Thursday, Nov. 10, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the atrium of Armstrong Hall. (Reception following.) Co-hosted by the Colleges of Engineering and Liberal Arts, the colloquium features two speakers: Gary Horlacher, NASA flight director and a 1989 graduate of Purdue's Interdisciplinary Engineering program, and Purdue history professor Michael Smith, whose expertise is in the history of the Space Race, aviation, and Russia. This event will highlight the geopolitical and societal context and technological challenges of the Space Race in the early 1960s, explore the complex nature of the human and technological systems in the space shuttle era, and ask what lessons we can learn for the future of human exploration of space. A question-and-answer session will conclude the discussion. The attached flier provides more information; we'd appreciate your sharing it with colleagues.

Communications Announcement Purdue University – Physical Facilities *US 52 Project Will Shift Traffic Late Friday *The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announce US 52 eastbound traffic will be shifted into the newly constructed eastbound lanes and leave westbound traffic in the westbound lanes by late Friday afternoon. Crews with Walsh Construction Co. have nearly completed the reconstruction of US 52 between Schuyler Ave. and Greenbush. There will only be daytime lane restrictions in the area in which they will be working until the contractor finishes up work in the next couple of weeks. Motorists are encouraged to be aware of the changes in traffic patterns. Other improvements as part of the reconstruction will include shoulder, curbs and gutters, drainage structures, culvert, guardrail, and sign replacement. The turn lanes will be lengthened at the intersection of Underwood and O’Farrell Streets. This project is scheduled to be completed in August of 2012. INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone. For the latest news and information about INDOT, please visit www.in.gov/indot <http://www.in.gov/indot> or www.trafficwise.IN.gov <http://www.trafficwise.IN.gov>. ________________ *Sidewalk Closure on North Side of Cary Begins Monday* Work will be done on the gutters at Cary Northeast and Cary Northwest from Monday, November 7 through Monday, November 21. Man lifts will be utilized during this project, and the sidewalk will be closed on the north side of Cary along Tower Dr and on the inside of the courtyard.
