Steering Advisory Council 2017-2018
The Steering Advisory Council (SAC), made up of leaders in the aerospace sector, advises and helps the College of Engineering and Purdue in exploring and creating opportunities in the aerospace enterprise that are timely and important at the national level, where academia, industry, and government can work together. This council is set up for the Dean of Engineering, and AAE is privileged to run the SAC on behalf of the dean. The SAC meets once a year. The current members of our SAC are listed below. We are extremely grateful to the efforts of our SAC members in serving the nation’s needs in the aerospace sector.
