Class Description
Class Format

This seminar/webinar will provide an understanding
of how advancing technology and process needs
have stimulated innovation in the aerospace industry. Its expectation is that, looking toward the future, students will be stimulated to develop their own thinking, either individually or in concert with others from varying disciplines, to new and innovative ideas that will continue the progress of this truly multi-discipline industry. Speakers will address their own experiences and their vision for those needs which will only be satisfied by innovations. Innovative technology, innovative processes and the innovation process itself, including innovation drivers, will be explored and captured. Industry, including aerospace suppliers and academic participants are encouraged to attend.

These seminar presentations will be in class and available off-campus via the video conferencing program WebEx. Students can either view the class in the classroom or via WebEx.
