Dr. McMasters hold BS and MS degrees from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a PhD from Purdue University, all in Aeronautical Engineering.

Abstract:
The topic first examines the co-evolution of aero technology, airplane design practice, and aerospace engineering education in a broad, long term historical context. Second, discusses the emerging recognition that airplane design is a social activity that demands that as much attention is devoted to intellectual capital issues as has traditionally been directed toward technology and process advances.
