Program History The program began in October 1929 with the founding of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering in the newly-built Guggenheim Hall. It was one of the eight such programs enabled by the Guggenheim Foundation for the Advancement of Aeronautics. In 1946 a Master’s degrees program was initiated, and 1959 saw the beginning of our PhD program. In 1962 the department’s name was changed to Aeronautics & Astronautics, in recognition of the advancements being made in space exploration (the degree program’s name was accordingly changed to Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering). In November 2012, the department was named after William E. Boeing, founder of the Boeing Company, who through his generosity made possible the initiation of instruction in aeronautics at the University of Washington (UW) in 1917. Our program has been continuously accredited since 1936, and the last general review took place December 2-4, 2007. Since the last ABET review there have been a number of changes. One faculty member left the department for a position in industry but two new faculty were added. Another faculty member changed his affiliation from tenure-track to research faculty status. Furthermore, two additional faculty, in the areas of controls and structural mechanics, were hired in spring 2013 and will join the department in mid-August. In addition, the new Dean of Engineering (Michael Bragg), who will start his tenure at the UW in July 2013, will become a member of our faculty. Following the arrival of these three new faculty, the department will have a total of 17 tenured or tenure track faculty and two research faculty by the time of the ABET site visit in Autumn 2013. Our undergraduate program’s core curriculum has undergone some refinement, largely focused on the junior-level laboratory courses, in which writing has been made a key aspect, in response to the phasing out of technical writing courses that had been offered through the department of Human-Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE). Our graduate program developed a new 1 Master of Aerospace Engineering track in Composite Materials and Structures, and recently initiated a new, professional Master’s degree program that will be taught in the evenings. C. Options The only options available in the undergraduate program relate to the student’s choice of the senior capstone design course between the two that are offered: Airplane Design and Space Systems Design. Students select electives that best support the capstone design course of their choice. D. Organizational Structure The Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering program resides in the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics, in the College of Engineering (COE) at the UW. In addition to the undergraduate program, the department offers a graduate program leading to the degrees of Master of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Master of Aerospace Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy. The department is led by a Chair (currently Prof. James C. Hermanson) and is supported by an Associate Chair for Research (currently Prof. Uri Shumlak). The Chair is supported by a Chair’s Assistant and a departmental Administrator. There are also three academic program managers/coordinators, five technical staff, and three fiscal staff. The department has several committees that assist and advise the Chair and the faculty in various administrative areas, each chaired by a faculty member. Policy and curricular decisions are made by the faculty, on the basis of recommendations from the relevant committees. The two committees devoted to educational issues are the Undergraduate Program Committee (currently chaired by Prof. Adam P. Bruckner) and the Graduate Committee (currently chaired by Prof. Kristi Morgansen-Hill). Each of these committees is served by a full-time staff member. Accreditation issues are dealt with by the Undergraduate Program Committee. The department is one of 10 academic departments in the COE, which is led by the Dean. The COE has four Associate Deans, who are responsible for the Offices of Academic Affairs, Advancement, Infrastructure, and Research and Graduate Studies. All but the Associate Dean for Advancement (who is a development officer) are faculty members in departments in the College. The Dean reports to the Provost, the chief academic officer of the Seattle campus. The Provost, in turn, reports to the President, the chief executive officer. The President reports to the Board of Regents, which is the University's governing body whose broad responsibilities are to supervise, coordinate, manage and regulate the University, as provided by state statute. There are 10 regents, who are appointed by the Governor for six-year terms. E. Program Delivery Modes The Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering program requires students to be enrolled full- time on-campus. Courses are offered during daytime hours for all four quarters of the academic year (but with only two lower-division courses during summer quarter). The program is of the traditional lecture / laboratory / recitation type. One senior elective (AA 462, Rocket Propulsion) is also offered synchronously via distance learning. 2 F. Program Locations The program is offered only at the University of Washington’s Seattle Campus. G. Deficiencies, Weaknesses or Concerns from Previous Evaluation(s) and the Actions Taken to Address them There were no shortcomings remaining after the most recent ABET Final Statement. H. Joint Accreditation The program is not jointly accredited nor is it seeking to be accredited by more than one commission. 3 GENERAL CRITERIA CRITERION 1. STUDENTS A. Student Admissions Although direct freshman admission was initiated in 2011 and early admission at the sophomore level has been in place for more than a decade, the majority of students enter our program in their junior year. The junior year admission process gives students the opportunity to complete their prerequisites at a community college, and be able to apply for admission to our program as juniors. The admission process described below applies specifically to juniors but the same criteria are used with students who are admitted as sophomores. The Undergraduate Advising Office coordinates the departmental undergraduate admissions effort. Admission to the department is highly competitive. Students apply to the program after completing a set of program prerequisites (see Table 1.1) and are evaluated based upon grades in prerequisite and general education courses, their application essays, and their potential to contribute to the field of aerospace engineering. An Admissions Committee, comprised of four faculty members, the chair of the Undergraduate Program Committee (faculty), and the manager of the Undergraduate Program (staff academic advisor) evaluate the applications. The committee makes all final decisions by consensus. All departmental admissions forms are on-line and students can complete the process remotely. Once the on-line applications are completed and submitted, students receive email confirmation of their application, and then receive notification from the department about 3 weeks after the application deadline (July 1 for Autumn admission).

    LIVINGSTON WERNECKE: AN IDOL IN YUKON MINING ANNALS and THE HOUSE OF THE GUGGENHEIMS by Jane Gaffin “The pioneers did not read history; they made it...In developing the mineral wealth of a continent and building a great industry things do not ‘just happen’; they are brought about by men who have the wit to see and the courage to do. Our predecessors were men with these qualities. They fought great battles against heavy odds and they have left us a great heritage. Many of them we cannot know in person for they have ‘gone over the range’, but we do well to know what they did and how they did it.” -- H. Foster Bain, New York, June, 1932, Excerpt from the Introduction to A History of American Mining by T.A. Rickard. Livingston Wernecke (1883 - 1941) (Photo by Ted Wernecke) - 2 - Charles Theodore (C.T.) and Jane Wernecke were by far the prime influences in nurturing and shaping the young minds of their two sons. To the best of their abilities, the parents taught Livingston and Chauncy morals and manners. They guided the boys toward the path they wanted their sons to trod and trusted they would remain as sure-footed as a Montana pony and journey through life as straight as the topography would allow. Besides parents, everybody needs non-related mentors, too. Three wise men were dominant in awakening and developing Livingston’s career goals and guiding him through the three main stages of his life. One man was Robert Statham Williams who entered Livingston’s world during his formative years.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1965 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. THEODORE VON KARMAN May 11, 1881-May 7, 1963 BY HUGH L. DRYDEN HEODORE VON KARMAN, distinguished aeronautical engi- T neer and teacher, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1938, died in Aachen, Germany, on May 7, 1963, four days before his eighty-second birthday. He was a person of unusual genius and vision. He made outstanding contributions to modern engineering, particularly to aeronautical engineer- ing and to other engineering fields based on solid and fluid mechanics. Von Karman himself attributed the origin of mod- ern applied mechanics to Felix Klein, his professor at the Uni- versity of Gottingen. Klein had visited the United States in 1893. As a result, in von Karman's words, "What Klein recog- nized and what has since become commonplace is the fact that alongside the massive resources of American technology a Eu- ropean industry could exist only if it held a superiority with re- spect to efficiency and saving of material. This appeared to be possible only if one could increase as much as possible the ac- curacy of the knowledge of technical processes and the accuracy of prior computation with the aid of chemistry, physics, me- chanics, and mathematics." Von Karman devoted his whole professional life to bridging the gap which had developed between theoretical workers who were content with general theorems and selected simple ex- 346 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS amples and engineers who were frustrated by the failures of theory and therefore resorted to pure empiricism and rule of thumb.

  • The History of Aeronautics at Stanford University; the Founding and Early Years of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics
    From Durand to Hoff: The history of aeronautics at Stanford University; The founding and early years of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics On December 19, 1958 Dean of Engineering Joseph Pettit wrote a letter to Provost Fredrick Terman requesting that “the title of Division of Aeronautical Engineering be changed to the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, and that all prerogatives of the departmental status be accorded the Aeronautical Engineering faculty.” Pettit noted that the division had been functioning entirely like a department for the past two years. When it was founded it was the first department at Stanford to be dedicated to interdisciplinary research. By that time high-speed flight and access to space had developed into two of the most important forces shaping modern culture. It was recognized that to effectively impact the development of aircraft and space vehicles a new department was needed where the research would span the disciplines of fluids, structures, control and navigation. In the five decades since, the faculty and students of the department have made major contributions to all of these fields, particularly in the areas of precision navigation, aerodynamic design, flow simulation, propulsion, composite structures, robotic systems and control of complex systems. Beginnings The history of aeronautics at Stanford began long before the founding of the department and is almost as old as the university itself. It started with the appointment of William F. Durand in 1904, only a year after the first flight of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Stanford University opened its doors on October 1, 1891. The first student body consisted of 559 men and women.

As Usual, No “Alt News” You Tube Interviewer Will Touch This! “A powerful, exploitative commercial family, owners of mines of copper, silver, diamonds, and gold in Mexico, Chile, Africa; an imperial family, some of the most ruthless exploiters of the world’s wealth.” (“The Guggenheims---An American Epic” (1994), page 333) ---Hampton’s Magazine, March 1910, page 411; page 412 below--- Page 418--- “THE NAME OF GUGGENHEIM IS JUGGERNAUT.” Page 421--- The January 26, 1901, page 127, Engineering & Mining Journal shows the Guggs were involved in a transaction of $6,066,666. The Guggenheims motto could have been--- Ever hear of the Guggenheim mining dynasty? Jewish? You bet! But as I said last time out when Jews want to gain heightened favor with the “all seeing eye” of TPTB, which happens to be the British Royal Family, the planet’s biggest landowners and history’s wealthiest dynasty, the Windsors, who run the Anglican Church of England and the entire British Commonwealth of Nations including Canada and Australia, NATO, the U.N. and these “American Colonies,” in the U.S.A. Jews on occasion do become Episcopalians! During the Revolutionary War the Church of England in the American colonies, in a ploy to reduce flak from the public, altered its name to Episcopal Church. The name change is the same difference between “automobile” and “motor vehicle,” there is no difference, and USA Episcopal churches are members of the “worldwide” (globalist) Anglican Communion.

Scott Eberhardt, Boeing Company Narayanan Komerath, Georgia Institute of Technology Page 14.1218.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 The Guggenheim Schools of Aeronautics: Where are they today? Narayanan Komerath Georgia Institute of Technology, 270 Ferst Drive Atlanta GA 30332-0150 Scott Eberhardt The Boeing Company, P.O. Box 3707, MC 0R-MM, Seattle, WA 98124-2207 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to present a brief summary and history of the seven original Guggenheim schools. Between 1925 and 1930, the family of Daniel and Harry Guggenheim invested more than $2.6 million in aviation-related programs at Universities around the United States. During this period, funding was given to New York University, the California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Michigan, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington and the Georgia School (later Institute) of Technology to establish Guggenheim schools of aeronautics. In addition, Harvard University, Syracuse University, Northwestern University, and the University of Akron were given funds to establish research centers. Of the original seven Guggenheim schools, all have active aeronautics programs except New York University, which dropped its aeronautics program in 1973. The remaining six generally rank as top aerospace programs in the country. This paper reviews the history of the Guggenheim schools and research centers, and discusses how the original contributions have led to the existing programs of today. History of the Guggenheim Schools Daniel Guggenheimi,ii was the grandson of Jewish immigrants from Switzerland. Following his father Meyer, Daniel expanded the growing smelting and mining business into a global enterprise.

    Memorial Tributes: Volume 1 CLARK BLANCHARD MILLIKAN 208 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes: Volume 1 CLARK BLANCHARD MILLIKAN 209 Clark Blanchard Millikan 1903-1966 By Ernest E. Sechler Clark Blanchard Millikan was born in Chicago on August 23, 1903, and died on January 2, 1966. His birth occurred almost simultaneously with the decision of the Wright brothers that their airplane was ready to fly under its own power. These brothers shipped their frail craft from Dayton to Kitty Hawk in September of that year. Whether or not this coincidence was important can never be known, but it is a fact that, in his early impressionable years, Clark was surrounded by the publicity attendant on the rapid development of this new means of transportation. Being the son of Robert Andrews Millikan, at that time Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago, any latent interest in new advances in science and technology was sure to develop. According to his own memory, Clark was only eight or nine years old when he first decided to make his life's career in some area associated with aeronautics. During this eight- or nine-year period, many startling firsts in aviation were accomplished, beginning with the Wright brothers' first flight in December 1903. All of these events would surely have been discussed at the home of a university professor, and it is little wonder that one of his sons saw glamorous possibilities in aeronautics as a future career. Clark attended the University of Chicago elementary and high schools, and, during this time, he continued his interest in aeronautics by building model airplanes.

  • THE FIRST 50 YEARS John E
    THE FIRST 50 YEARS John E. Green ICAS President 1996 - 1998 Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the 26th ICAS Congress. The first Congress was held in Madrid in 1958. It ran from 8 to 13 September, closing fifty years and one day before this Congress opened in Anchorage on Sunday. The Final Programme booklet for the present congress includes a short account of the history of ICAS to date. Fred Sterk, who was the Executive Secretary of ICAS from 1990 to 1998, has written a much fuller account which will shortly be published on the ICAS web site and in book form. Today, I will give you my own perspective on these fifty years. ICAS was the brainchild of two great men, Harry Guggenheim and Theodore von Kármán. The Fathers of ICAS Harry F. Guggenheim Theodore von Kármán Photos courtesy of the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation Collection, National Air and Space Museum and the von Kármán Institute In 1956 they conceived the idea of bringing together, at regular intervals, all the scientific bodies of the aeronautical world to discuss common problems “without regard to immediate military or political interest”. At that time, it was a bold – you might even say crazy – idea. Most of you were not yet born in 1956. I was in my first year at university. It was 11 years after the end of World War II, deep in the so called Cold War. It was a time of great distrust between the powers of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Each side had developed massive nuclear strike capability based on their fleets of long-range bombers.
