7th Annual AE Expo - Best Yet
The 7th Annual AE Expo was held on September 17, 2013 in the Clough
Undergraduate Learning Center, attracting over 300 people. A main
highlight of the event was the booths showcasing research from almost
every lab within the School of AE. Beside the displays in the
Clough Atrium, there were also lab tours to the Aerospace Systems Design
Lab (ASDL), the John J. Harper Wind Tunnel, and the Cognitive
Engineering Center's Flight Simulator.
This year saw the highest attendance yet, with over 300 students and
distinguished guests. The School's external advisory council
(AESAC) annual meeting also coincided with the AE Expo. About 15
AESAC members were among the attendees. They were delighted with
the research displays and the chance to interact with the students and
other visitors.
The event was organized by the School of AE Student Advisory Council
(SAESAC), and was sponsored by the Georgia Center for Innovation -
Aerospace; the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)
- Atlanta Chapter; and the Daniel Guggenheim School of AE.

Letter from the Chair
Dear AE alumni and friends:
There is much going on in our School this semester! On September

were briefed on our undergraduate curriculum reform efforts, strategic
plan efforts, and the research plans of our new faculty. Our Council
members also toured the recently renovated instructional labs and
attended the AE Research Expo.
On September 20th, over 80 parents and siblings visited our School and
attended the Family Weekend reception. The families were happy to
learn of the Design/Build/Fly and undergraduate research opportunities
available to the students.
We look forward to seeing many of you during the Homecoming Weekend (Oct
31- Nov 2). In the meanwhile, please stay in touch with us through our
web site, and the LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter sites. With best
wishes,
